- Title
Derivation of variance estimators and statistical inference for indices of sexual size dimorphism: an example.
- Authors
Nemes, Szilárd; Hartel, Tibor
- Abstract
The article offers information on the use of variance estimators and statistical inferences as indices of sexual size dimorphism (SDI). It mentions the indices introduced by J. E. Lovich and J. W. Gibbons which means size of the larger sex divided by size of the smaller sex. It states the incorporation of sample size, variability, and confidence level to address incorrect measurement. It says that the equation could be used to assess the estimators of variance used on biological indexes.
