in a stepwise fashion, as follows:
Step 1: If the shoulder height has to be estimated for sample Y, and the value in sample X is known then
calculate using stature values as reference D, known in both samples: E
¼
(shoulder height in sample X)
=
(stature in sample X), see Equation 9
:
Step 2: With E now known, the desired unknown dimension in population sample Y equals E times
the reference parameter in sample Y. In this example, shoulder height in sample Y

sample Y), see Equation 9.4.
The technique of ratio scaling usually serves to estimate the mean of a required dimension and its
standard deviation. The common parameter is often stature. Note, however, that while stature generally
correlates well with other heights, it is not necessarily associated with depths, breadths, circumferences,
