Test 5521: Stature Estimation

This osteometric stature estimation proficiency test allows anthropology professionals to collect measurements from an osteological replica of an adult human long bone, apply an accepted stature estimation method, and report the estimated stature, associated prediction interval, and methodology used.

None of these tests would be possible without feedback from all of our customers and input from members of the communities we serve. We hope to continue developing testing based on test suggestions, as well as requests for proficiency testing focusing on specific advancements across disciplines.
