The Military Anthropometry Resource Companion (MARC): Overview and Sample Use Cases
Abstract
The Military Anthropometry Resource Companion (MARC) is an interactive analysis tool that provides complete body size data and related analytical resources. MARC may be used to explore traditional anthropometric data and calculate percentiles for any given dimension and value, compare characteristics of available datasets, and find accommodation dynamically given certain constraints on measures of anthropometry and demographics. MARC encompasses two components: a front-end graphical user interface and an underlying analytical engine implemented as an R package called MARCR (Military Anthropometry Resource Companion in R). This technical note primarily focuses on the analytical engine specifically, a description of the data underlying MARCR, a description of the methods of analysis and associated assumptions, and an overview of current capabilities. This report also discusses examples of simple use cases and the steps to complete tasks.
