title: [Comparative study of several processes of multivariate statistics in the morphologic analysis of the facial profile. Specificity and limits].
abstract: Upon 5 cutaneous angles and 4 bony angles, measured in facial profile, several (mono and plurivariate) methods were used for research of sexual differences. We explain why discriminant analysis is the only one to bring a very significant result.
