Sex determination on skeletal remains is one of the most important diagnosis in forensic cases and in demographic studies on ancient populations. Our purpose is to realize an automatic operator-independent method to determine the sex from the bone sh...
The measurement of the femoral head is usually considered an interesting variable for the sex determination of skeletal remains. To date, there are few published reference measurements of the femoral head in a modern European population for the purpo...

This research aimed to compare the classification accuracy of three machine learning (ML) methods (random forest (RF), support vector machines (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA)) for sex estimation of sub-adults using cranial computed tomograp...
Sex estimation is an indispensable test for identifying skeletal remains in the field of forensic anthropology. We developed a novel sex-estimation method for skulls and several parts of the skull using machine learning. A total of 240 skull shapes w...
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of machine learning algorithms in sex estimation by going beyond the traditional two-dimensional (2D) measurements of the pelvic bone, predominantly preferred in sex prediction, by including measurement data...

Medical imaging and machine learning are beneficial approaches in physical and forensic anthropology. They are particularly useful for the development of models for sex identification based on bone remains. The present study uses machine learning alg...
BACKGROUND: It is impossible to use the routine skeletal parts for gender identification if the skeleton of unknown human remains is obtained in a fragmented and incomplete state. The alternative is to use other parts of the skeleton for gender ident...
