Can we use discriminant function analysis to sex penguins prior to calculating an index of a morphometric parameter?
males and females, and these often overlap. Whilst discriminant analysis can be used to determine the ... normal distributions are used to show that there is a difference between the real mean parameter for a ... sex, and the apparent mean derived by sexing the birds using discriminant analysis. When discriminant ... functions are able to correctly determine the sex of birds with greater than 80% success the difference ...
