Table 5 Pearson correlation analysis between the parameters 1 and 7, 8, 9 across the four different types of the specimens of skull. The table reports correlation coefficients (r), 95% confidence interval, corresponding p-values, and qualitative interpretations of correlation strength. Asterisks denote statistical significance (p < 0.05 *; p < 0.01 **).
