Abstract
In the Part 1 of our report, we were able to grasp the difference of body form between boys and girls, the growing-up amount and the growing-up speed. In this report, we discussed some multi-dimensional body form classifications.
(1) Classification by means of Kmeans method applied to normalized seven measurements.
(2) Classification by means of Kmeans method applied to 1st and 2nd canonical variates extracted by Canonical Discriminant Analysis.
(3) Classification given by Multiple Linear Discriminant Function.
We discussed characteristics on each classifications and the sex differencies studied by classification.
