  • Title: Estimation of age from the pubic symphysis by means of multiple regression analysis.
    Author: Hanihara K, Suzuki T.
    Journal: Am J Phys Anthropol; 1978 Feb; 48(2):233-9. PubMed ID: 205135.
    Abstract:
    This study has been carried out to assess the age from the pubic symphysial surface employing a multiple regression analysis and a quantification theory model I analysis. Using partial regression coefficients and/or normalized scores obtained from the analyses, ages of skeletal remains can be quantitatively estimated with a fairly high reliability. The use of this method is, however, limited to the samples between 18 and 38 years of age, because age changes in the symphysial surface show large variations after about 40 years. The reliability of this method was also examined.
