SIZE CHART FOR SOCKS FOR SCHOOL BOYS IN SRI LANKA

The structure of the body of human depends on many factors.  Hence the sizes and size charts for garments need to be developed for a specific nation/human group.  This paper presents a size chart developed for socks for school boys in Sri Lanka.  The foot and leg measurements  of 2650 school boys in six different provinces of the country is used in the analysis  in order to get a reasonable sample size as the foot and leg measurements may have many influences.  Correlation between different foot measurements were analyzed and k- means clustering is used in segmenting data into five categories representing five different sock sizes.
