Bottyán, O.: An analysis of the palatal measuring methods

The cause of deviation in the results of HEINTZ'S and the Hungarian samples might derive also from the different composition and volume of the examined samples. It is still problematic, however, whether the correctness of HEINTZ'S method is affected by the fact of a correlation or of an uncorrelatedness concerning her method of transversal measuring and the classical one. In my opinion the correctness of a new method does not depend on the kind of relationship it stands with an earlier one, but whether its deviation from the older method yields more usable, that is, characteristical data or not. I should like to emphasize again that I do not contend that the two kinds of transversal measurement correlate in general, but merely that the Hungarian sample resulted in correlation. Graphs 13—-16.
