Accuracies of discriminant function equations for sex estimation using long bones of upper extremities
Bidmos, Mubarak A.; Mazengenya, Pedzisai ( Springer , 2020 , Article)© 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. One of the scopes of practice of forensic anthropologists is the estimation of sex from skeletal remains. As a result, population-specific discriminant function ... -
The accuracy of the anatomical method for stature estimation in Black South African females
Brits, Desiré; Manger, Paul R.; Bidmos, Mubarak A. ( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)The anatomical method is considered the most accurate stature estimation method, but investigation has shown that it continuously underestimates stature. This underestimation is believed to be related to the use of universal ... -
Assessing the use of the anatomical method for the estimation of sub-adult stature in Black South Africans
Brits, Desiré; Manger, Paul R.; Bidmos, Mubarak A. ( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)Stature estimation is rarely attempted in sub-adults due to the general lack of available standards as a result of the dearth of sufficiently large sub-adult skeletal collections with known demographic information. To ... -

Estimation of sex from the metacarpal dimensions at the nutrient foramen in white South Africans
Sallie, Sameerah; Bidmos, Mubarak A.; Mazengenya, Pedzisai ( Taylor and Francis , 2020 , Article)© 2020 Australian Academy of Forensic Sciences. Sex estimation is important in both forensic and archaeological cases and requires a variety of bones and measurements to obtain accurate estimates. Discriminant function ... -
Forensic utility of cranial measurements in stature reconstruction in South Africans of European descent.
Bidmos, Mubarak A; Adebesin, Abduljalil Adetola ( E Schweizerbart Science Publishers , 2020 , Article)The height of an individual (stature) is one of the biological profiles that is estimated as part of human identification process from various components of the human skeleton. The anatomical method is often used for this ... -
Machine learning and discriminant function analysis in the formulation of generic models for sex prediction using patella measurements
Bidmos, Mubarak A.; Olateju, Oladiran I.; Latiff, Sabiha; Rahman, Tawsifur; Chowdhury, Muhammad E.H. ( Springer Nature , 2022 , Article)Sex prediction from bone measurements that display sexual dimorphism is one of the most important aspects of forensic anthropology. Some bones like the skull and pelvis display distinct morphological traits that are based ... -
Measurements of the talus in the assessment of population affinity
Bidmos, M.; Bidmos, Mubarak A.; Dayal, Manisha R.; Adegboye, Oyelola A. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)© 2018 Elsevier B.V. As part of their routine work, forensic anthropologists are expected to report population affinity as part of the biological profile of an individual. The skull is the most widely used bone for the ... -
Regression equations for stature reconstruction from the lower limb bones of contemporary White South Africans
Bidmos, Mubarak A.; Loubser, Natasha; Brits, Desiré ( Taylor & Francis , 2023 , Article)In 2008, Dayal and colleagues generated regression equations to estimate the total skeletal height (TSH) of White South Africans. However, the validity of these equations has been questioned. The magnetic resonance imaging ... -

Stature estimation from the femur and tibia in Black South African sub-adults
Brits, Desiré M.; Bidmos, Mubarak A.; Manger, Paul R. ( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)Stature estimation can play a role in the positive identification of unknown individuals and as such it is routinely assessed during the examination of adult remains. Unfortunately, this is not a standard procedure when ... -
