Title: Estimation of Developmental Age
Description: Bayesian methods for estimating developmental age from ordinal dental data. For an explanation of the model used, see Konigsberg (2015) <doi:10.3109/03014460.2015.1045430>. For details on the conditional correlation correction, see Sgheiza (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.forsciint.2021.111135>. Dental scoring is based on Moorrees, Fanning, and Hunt (1963) <doi:10.1177/00220345630420062701>.

A function for finding and correcting fuzzy posteriors produced by mvcp_est.f

Description

A function for finding and correcting fuzzy posteriors produced by mvcp_est.f

Usage

find_fuzzies.f(cases, prior)

Arguments

cases

as input data.table of rows of collapsed dental development scores, or vector of scores from single individual

prior

as string argument for desired prior

Value

for one case, list object with interpretation and data.table of true age, lower and upper bounds of HDR, mode, and posterior. If multiple cases are entered, only the data.table is returned.

Examples

find_fuzzies.f(c(NA,NA,9,10,11,14,15,10,15,11),prior="jeff")

A function for collapsing Moorrees et al. (1963) dental development stages for use in find_fuzzies.f and mvcp_est.f

Description

WARNING: this function is based on scoring with an additional crypt stage. Pre-collapse staging: 0-no crypt, 1-crypt, 2-Ci, 3-Cco, 4-Coc, 5-Cr1/2, 6-Cr3/4, 7-Crc, 8-Ri, 9-Cli, 10-R1/4, 11-R1/2, 12-R3/4, 13-Rc, 14-A1/2, 15-Ac

Usage

mfh_collapse(cases)

Arguments

cases

as input data.table of Moorrees et al. dental development scores, or vector of scores from single individual

Value

returns data.table of collapsed scores

Examples

mfh_collapse(c(NA,NA,15,15,14,12,11,15,11,8))

Age estimation from a single case, called by mvcp_est.f

Description

Age estimation from a single case, called by mvcp_est.f

Usage

mv.probit(case, prior, drop)

Arguments

case

as input vector from object dat

prior

as string argument for desired prior

drop

as column to be dropped based on outcome of find_fuzzies.f

Value

returns probs as a vector of posterior probabilities


A function for estimating age from 8 teeth via multivariate cumulative probit and a user-determined prior. Call directly iff you do NOT want to correct for fuzzy posteriors. Call find_fuzzies.f otherwise.

Description

A function for estimating age from 8 teeth via multivariate cumulative probit and a user-determined prior. Call directly iff you do NOT want to correct for fuzzy posteriors. Call find_fuzzies.f otherwise.

Usage

mvcp_est.f(prior, dat)

Arguments

prior

as string argument for desired prior

dat

as input data.table of rows of dental development scores, may have only 1 row

Value

returns postm as a data.table of posterior probability distributions


test data from NMDID

Description

Collapsed London Atlas scores of dental development from NMDID images by Stull. Do not apply mfh_collapse before using. Stages are already collapsed!

Usage

nmdid.test

Format

## 'nmdid.test' A data.table with 188 rows and 10 columns:

drn

Decedent record number from NMDID

age

age in decimal years

t31, t32, t33, t34, t35, t36, t37, t38

Collapsed London atlas score of left permanent mandibular teeth I1-M3
