A chapter in Multivariate Statistical Methods in Physical Anthropology, 1984, pp 37-48 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In physical anthropology one easily gets entangled in missing data problems, because excavated skulls usually are not complete. In this contribution, under special model assumptions, optimal estimators will be derived for some parameters. The results are useful in Van Vark’s approach to classification and discrimination problems in the study of older hominid populations.
