-------- Original Message -------- Subject: IMP Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2008 12:26:21 -0700 (PDT) From: Travis Skelton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] I'm planning on comparing the shapes of six species of snails that are often difficult to distinguish. I've been reading the book Geometric Morphometrics for Biologist and I'm starting to decide the type of analysis to run, but I would like to get some advice from some experts before I get to far along. My goal of this study is to examine weather or not geometric morphometrcis will give a clear separation of these six species based on shape. I've just started using the IMP programs and I plan to use CoordGen to calculate calculate Bookstein coordinates and then use CVAGen to show the show differences in overall shape of these six species. I would like to show statistical significance but CVA does not do this. How should I go about showing statistical significance? Are the procedures I've outlined sufficient for a study such as this? Thanks for your help Travis -- Replies will be sent to the list. For more information visit http://www.morphometrics.org
