rdss
is an R-shiny application for making sex estimation somewhat easier. The global approach follows the philosophy of "diagnose sexuelle secondaire", described by Murail et. al (1999).
Feature requests or bug reports are welcome.
This R package has been extensively described and documented in an article published in the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology. This article can be seen as the official (and the main) documentation of rdss
.
A video tutorial, illustrating the main features of rdss
, is available on Vimeo. This video presents an older version of rdss
(v0.9.7); some slight changes in the user interface have been made in the newest version.
A package vignette is available for those users who would also like to use rdss
internal functions in R scripts, for performing sex estimation through the command line. The package vignette can be consulted by running the following command into the R console:
vignette(package = "rdss", topic = "intro_rdss")
