Usage
data(Gabbs)
Arguments
Format
A data frame with 19 observations on the following 6 variables.
V15-29mm
Absolute measurements in millimeters.
V30-44mm
Absolute measurements in millimeters.
V45-59mm
Absolute measurements in millimeters.
V60-74mm
Absolute measurements in millimeters.
V75-89mm
Absolute measurements in millimeters.
V90-104mm
Absolute measurements in millimeters.
AR
Adult ranks.
Details
Bone-to-bone ratios or proportions derived from these measurements evidence a very early disproportionate elongation of distals followed by a gradual approximation of adult proportions by the 90-104 mm crown-rump length. Adult ranks calculated from Garn et al. (1972).
