Schiro, Samuel G., Karwan, Mark H., Dutton, Richard and Brunskill, Charles T. (1987): Fitting Population Anthropometric Data to a Proportional Man Model with Reference to Prime Computer's SAMMIE Program. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 325-329.

“The study addresses the problem of fitting anthropometric data from different populations to proportional man models. Proportional models simulate the human shape by assuming fixed proportions between various body dimensions. Percentiles can be created in such a model but are constrained by the body proportions. Prime Computer's SAMMIE man model is an example of the proportional approach. The SAMMIE model is described with reference to the anatomical features it simulates. The constraints imposed by a proportional model are discussed. These include link lengths, flesh envelope and ranges of joint motion. A linear programming model is presented to fit available population data to the model. The program is designed with a user friendly graphic interface allowing the designer to easily of principal interest. A validation study of the method using NASA data is reported.”
