Abstrakt: The algorithm of forensic medical examination depending on the features of arytenoid cartilage (AC) is presented in this article. The result of the proposed algorithm is the maintenance of accuracy and validity of sex diagnostic by the step-by-step method application of one-dimensional (ODA) and multidimensional (MDA) discriminant analysis. The method involves fixation of the values of left-hand and right-hand arytenoid cartilages features: distance from the apex to the muscular process, distance from the apex to the vocal tubercle, distance between the muscular and vocal tubercles, breadth of the facies articularis, surface and mass of either left-handed and right-handed arytenoid cartilages separately, or their sums. The application of one-dimensional discriminant analysis allows to determine the categories of features on a 5-point scale and to get 3 forms of conclusions depending on the proposed decision rule: a reliable solution (the problem is solved), probable solution (additional research is needed) and uncertain solution (cancellation of decision). The discriminant functions are additionally calculated for the models of multidimensional discriminant analysis separately for men and women in case of probable solution. The comparison of them determines the choice of sex and the form of expert conclusions.
