Trotter-Gleser equations

The foundational US stature regression equations published by Mildred Trotter and Goldine Gleser in 1952 (from WWII casualties) and revised in 1958 (from Korean War casualties, with corrected femur measurement protocol). The 1958 versions are the operative reference for US White and Black male casework.
