Talk:FORDISC

Comment
I am unable to understand the actual use of the program based on the article as written. A quick google search turned up this information which I thought might be adjusted slighty so as to be less of a sales description but might be incorporated into the main article. If I had the skill I would do it myself, but I don't.

FORDISC 3.0 Personal Computer Forensic Discriminant Functions (2005) S.D. Ousley and R.L. Jantz. FORDISC 3.0 is an interactive computer program, running under Windows, for classifying adults by race and sex using any combination of standard measurements. New features of FORDISC 2.0 are: larger number of variables, including postcranial variables; larger numbers of groups, including Howells' world wide cranial data; improved pictorial guide to measurements

 * Replying, seven years later: well there are copies of its users manual online which describe it.  Not sure if the article is adequate.  Basically it works by applying linear discriminant analysis (and possibly other variations of statistical method) to compare cranial measurements to known samples.  Hope this helps... :) -- do  ncr  am  01:55, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
