Remodeling Forensic Skeletal Age
Modern Applications and New Research Directions
Description
Key Features
- Discusses core concepts in age estimation, along with key terminologies
- Presents tactics on how readers can generate sound models that can be translated into forensic reports and expert testimony
- Provides a step-wise approach and best practice recommendations for data acquisition, considerations in sampling, exploratory data analysis, visualization, and sources of error for appropriate and reproducible research design
- Includes examples, theory and guidance on how to develop models for age estimation and reviews the impact of population-specific and universal approaches
