Age estimation based on length of left hand bone in African American children below 18 years old using Artificial Neural Network

Age estimation is used in the field of forensic anthropology’s studies to assists in the identification of individual’s identity. The age estimation using traditional method was unique and applicable for a certain population only. The focus on this study is the measurement of left hand bone to estim...
