1. What is a forensic Deals with skeletonized or decomposed remains for the purpose of aiding in
anthropologist, and a legal investigation.
what do they do?
(Lecture 2, Davis and
Halla-Borrelli article))
2. Nominal discrete and discontinuous data that are classified according to some quali-
tative measure that cannot be placed in a specific order
3. ordinal discrete data that can be ranked, counted, and ordered, but not measured
4. interval continuous scale data that are ordered, quantified, and with exact differences
between the values (it is known).
-0 does not mean the absence of the feature being measured, but instead
represents the arbitrary value.
5. ratio ordered, quantified, exact known differences between values.
-Has absolute value that is meaningful and not arbitrarily determined. height
, weight, head size that can be measured are ratio scale data.
6. accuracy is closeness of the measurements to a specific value
7. percision is the closeness of the measurements to each other
8. intra-observer error precision of data recorded by the same observer
-Humidity, lighting conditions, temperature, observer mood, and tool failure/
calibration can increase this.
9. Inter-observer error error resulting in the accuracy of data recorded by different observers
-Observer experience, use of measuring equipment that may be calibrated
differently, use of different measurement definitions, and training methods
can increase this
10. Metadata data that describes other data, doesnt relate
