GENDER CLASSIFICATION ON SKELETAL REMAINS: EFFICIENCY OF METAHEURISTIC ALGORITHM METHOD AND OPTIMIZED BACK PROPAGATION NEURAL NETWORK

In forensic anthropology, gender classification is one of the crucial steps involved in developing the biological profiles of skeleton remains. There are several different parts of skeleton remains and every part contains several features. However, not all features can contribute to gender classific...
