dc.descriptionEl estudio de los cambios entésicos en poblaciones pasadas ha sido abordado a través de varios análisis estadísticos. Sin embargo, esta variabilidad metodológica dificulta la comparación de los resultados. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar y discutir los resultados de una serie de análisis estadísticos comúnmente adoptados para el estudio de diferencias sexuales en los cambios entésicos con el fin de sugerir el método más eficaz. Para ello se aplicaron los siguientes análisis: distribución de frecuencias, cálculo de medias aritméticas y desvíos estándar, prueba de chi-cuadrado, U de Mann-Whitney, t de Student, correlación simple y parcial de Spearman y modelos lineales generalizados. La muestra analizada está integrada por40 individuos de ambos sexos provenientes de poblaciones cazadoras-recolectoras del humedal del Paraná inferior. La mayoría de los análisis mostraron diferencias significativas entre ambos sexos. Sin embargo, debido a la etiología multifactorial de los cambios entésicos, se recomiendan aquellas pruebas estadísticas donde se puedan ingresar covariables, como ser las correlaciones parciales o los modelos lineales generalizados.es-ES
dc.descriptionEntheseal changes have been analyzed through several statistical approaches. This methodological variability hinders cross-comparisons. The aim of this work is to present and discuss the results of a statistical set of analyses commonly applied in the study of sexual differences in entheseal changes with the final objective of suggesting the most effective method. For this purpose, it was applied the following statistical tests: frequency distribution, arithmetic mean and standard deviation, Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, t-Student, Spearman simple and partial correlations and generalized linear models. The sample investigated was composed by40 adult individuals of both sexes from hunter-gatherer populations from lower Parana wetlands. Most statistical tests showed significant differences between both sexes. However, since entheseal changes have a multifactorial etiology, it is recommended to apply statistical tests that control the effect of some variables, such as partial correlations and generalized linear models.en-US
