sidual's module at the point of the stature calculation. The coefficients of multiple determination are R

2 = 0.999 and R

2 = 0.999. The 95% confidence intervals of the model coefficients are respectively: from 87.47 cm to 95.22 cm, from 0.635 cm to 1.785 cm and from 0.406 cm to 1.426 cm. The regression parameters are significant (t-tests with P-value'

s < 0.0005) and the model is adequate (ANOVA with P-value < 0.0005). The TROTTER-GLESER formula did not describe the sample well (P-value = 0.000%). II. Hungarian males ILL Maximal stature regression on humerus - Four outliers are rejected from the sample - 2 in each loop (n = 186-4 = 182). Homoskedasticity is not rejected in any one test (P-value > 0.1018). The derived regression formula is: (6) E[stature] = 91.44 + 2.389*H (1.24) (0.036) The correlation coefficient between the regression parameters is -0.997. The estimated standard error is 1.20 cm with a 1.04 cm to 1.41 cm 95% confidence inFig. 5. Nomogram for predicting the maximal stature of Hungarian males using the length of humerus with age correction according to GILES and BORCAN (bold line). Three confidence margins are plotted (95% solid line, 99% dashed line, 99.9% dashdotted). The outliers are plotted with circles, and the experimental data is shown with dots
