  • 9780387777894 (pbk.)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 000SB:571.3 23 C615
Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Acquiring and manipulating morphometric data -- 3. Traditional statistics for morphometrics -- 4. Modern morphometrics based on configurations of landmarks -- 5. Statistical analysis of outlines -- 6. Statistical analysis of shape using modern morphometrics -- 7. Going further with R -- Appendix A: functions developed in this text -- Appendix B: packages used in this text.
Summary: This book explains how to use R for morphometrics and provides a series of examples of codes and displays covering approaches ranging from traditional morphometrics to modern statistical shape analysis such as the analysis of landmark data, Thin Plate Splines, and Fourier analysis of outlines." "Students and scientists interested in shape analysis can use the book as a reference for performing applied morphometrics, while prospective researchers will learn how to implement algorithms or interface R for new methods. In addition, adopting the "R" philosophy will enhance exchanges within and outside the morphometrics community.
