Categorizing human remains by sex and race has long been a challenge for the medicolegal profession. Logistic regression models and multicategory logit models can be used to accurately place individuals into their respective groups using measurements of the talus bone. Successful placement was achieved in 93% of the individuals for the response variable of sex. The percentage of correct placement for race alone was 95%. The correct placement for sex with race ranged from 76% to 95% depending on the group. The goal of this paper was to show that in addition to the pelvis and skull, the talus can be used with equal or greater success rates to classify human remains. |
