A univariate and multivariate examination of measurement error in anthropometry
Abstract Replicate anthropometric measurements on 20 male and 22 female Eskimos were examined using analysis of variance, product‐moment correlation coefficients, and canonical variates with Mahalanobis' D 2 distances. Analysis of variance indicated that 12 of the 16 variables could be measured...
