A STUDY ON MEASUREMENT OF CHARACTERISTICS OF HANDWRITING LETTERS WITH THE MOUSE DEVICE FOR MALE AND FEMALE DEXTEROUS STUDENTS

Tsunehiro Munakata
Abstract:
It may be the figure of the human handwriting as one of the most interesting outputs. By research on the figure of handwriting, characteristics or behaviors of the human are analyzed and cleared. The purpose of this paper is to report results on the comparison of data (the characteristics data by this measurement method) and the evaluation given by pattern differences of handwriting capital letters: B and D; U and V having constructive similarities. By using the divergence as one of statistics method, figures drawn by the dominant or non-dominant hand of examinees who are selected 40 persons of male and female dexterous students in total. Experiment for data collection is done based on the procedure of the author, and it is done by book-size personal computer display and the mouse device and by the recognition function of the computer. The following results are obtained: 1) average vector on pattern elements of t= (t1, t2, …, t7 or t8) 2) variance and covariance matrix on pattern elements of t = (t1, t2, …, t7 or t8) 3) value of divergence: DBD(t), DUV(t) etc. And, the conclusion of this paper on figures of handwring for male and female dexterous students analyzed by the statistics methods given in chapter 4 are shown.
