Daniella,
That is the very point of discriminant function analysis. One develops
the functions using a set of data from individuals in which you know the
sex definitively by some other criterion. Then you use the discriminant
functions to apply to unknowns for which you want to predict the sex.

Hello...
by the way, yet using MorphoJ...
If I have a "good" discriminant function result for sex, can I try to
apply it to individuals that I don´t know the sex to "estimate" sex in it?
Thank you very much, cheers, Daniela Sanfelice.
