Table 5. Equations generated for estimation of age in the Brazilian population.
| Population | Equation | Determination coefficient (R2) | Correlation coefficient (r) | Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | Age = 0.82 + 0.95X + 0.93 | 79.32% | 0.89 | 0.93 |
| Female | Age = 0.39 + 0.99X + 0.97 | 78.95% | 0.88 | 0.97 |
| Male | Age = 1.35 + 0.91X + 0.89 | 80.06% | 0.89 | 0.89 |
X = age estimated by the Cameriere et al.’s method (2006).
All estimates meet the assumptions of normality, linearity, homoscedasticity and independence of errors.
