Typicality probability

In FORDISC analysis, the probability that the unknown skull is a typical member of the best-matching reference group, based on Mahalanobis distance. Values below 0.05 indicate the skull does not closely match any loaded reference group, often because the correct population is not represented. A critical output for honest population-affinity reporting.
