Abstract :
Anthropometry has been used for many scientific and applied problems, such as growth, evolution, and applications to forensic identifications. The aim of this study was to determine whether the samples could be significantly differentiated from each other from a set of cephalometric data. The comparison of group could be used in forensics for the determination of ethnic identity and/or sex. The samples consisted of 3822 individuals from Alor, Atoni, Barawahing, Marai, Tetum, Java, Kabir, Lemma, Manggarai, Middle Pantar, Ngada, East Alor and Palue. The variables were g-op, eu-eu, ft-ft, zy-zy, go-go, al-al, n-sn, and n-gn. “Classificatory discriminant analysis” was used to differentiate the groups. “Mahalanobis distance” determined the distance between the samples. The Java sample had the farthest Mahalanobis distance from the other samples. Correct classification could be done in 17.7%-83.4% of males, and 18.4%-86.2% of females within each group. More than 40% were correctly classified in 5 samples of males, and 8 samples of females. In all individuals, 84% females and 86% males were classified to the correct sex.
