Dataset List

Any dataset options configured in the main page also apply here.

Words of importance:

• SD: Standard Deviation.
• n: Number of measurements for each dataset or average.
• Meta-dataset: A dataset that combines data from other datasets.
• Self-reported: Measurements were submitted individually by each person rather than being measured by a professional.
• Bone-pressed (BP): Length measurements for this dataset were done pressed against the pubic bone.
• Non bone-pressed (NBP): Length measurements for this dataset were done against the skin, not compressing any of the fat pad.
• Base-shaft/Mid-shaft girth: Girth measurements were done either at the base or near the middle, respectively.

• Volumetric Estimates: Rough estimates on what the average volume could be. See this page for more details.
• Location (μ): Controls the horizontal shift of the distribution. Higher averages typically increase the location.
• Scale (σ): Controls the horizontal spread of the distribution. Higher numbers typically spread out the distribution more.
• Shape (λ): Controls the power (x^y) that is applied to the distribution. Higher numbers typically "tilt" the distribution more, but only on one side of the average.
