Open the coordinate file in Past, then peform elliptic fourier analyses, then copy the ouput file with the harmonics (you can select the desired numer of harmonics if you want). Then open a new past window and paste the harmonics. With the desired number of harmonics you can perform now the pca

[MORPHMET] Elliptic Fourier analysis using PAST 3.05

2015-02-17 Thread ely raz
Hi, I am trying to perform an Elliptic Fourier analysis using PAST 3.05 and the Trilobite outlines file (outlines.dat in folk.uio.no/ohammer/past/book.html). Unfortunately, I cannot generate using this example the PCA plot shown in Fig. 4.24 of the Paleontological Data Analysis book (Page 111

Hi Everyone, I am exploring the use of GMM to study the ontogenetic changes of claw morphology in one species of crabs. The tips of the crab claws changes in curvature (shape) as they grow and there are distinct differences if I compare the claws of the juvenile crabs and the adults. However, the

Hi Karl, Try import_jpg in Momocs on segmented images ie black shape on a white background. Be sure to get the last version (https://github.com/vbonhomme/Momocs/ ) , the one on CRAN and published in JSS is completeley obsolete now New vignettes are being rewritten, so feel free to contact me for

Dear Marc You could use photogrammetry to create 3D models, but it would require several photographs from different angles rather than just one from the top. I hope that helps. Best wishes, Anneke van Heteren Darwinweg 2 - 2333 CR LeidenMeckenheimer Allee 176

Hi Karl, I would highly recommend Momocs. You can read in the images into R with the import_jpeg function. The author has a lot of documentation on his website and on github. Ricardo On Mon, Feb 16, 2015 at 2:04 PM, Garvin, Heather hgar...@mercyhurst.edu wrote: Hi Karl, I’ve used the

Hi Adeline, I'm not sure if this helps with your problems, but what you are describing reminds me of two things: - MANCOVA using shape variables as dependent, species as categorical predictor and size (either of the claw or of the body) as covariate and testing not only for the main
