Abstract
For a long time, science has been dedicated to revealing various indicators of the human body, including height and weight. The same purpose is also for this paper. Based on data on the hand of people from ten different countries, this paper do some research with the help of multi-variate analysis tools. According to the different characteristics of the data, this paper first carried out the analysis of variance on hand length. Then, according to the different dimension of hand shape, including the vertical length of the palm, the metacarpal and the length of the index finger, factor analysis was carried out, and two influence factors were extracted. Then, multiple regressions were performed on these variables, at the same time, stepwise regression method was adopted, and the main independent variables were chose from the constructed model. Finally, gender is set to a dummy variable to study the impact of gender differences on the hand length.
