Thank you for all your answers !  (sorry for the delay) 

For the time being I analyzed the right and left separatly and as suggested 
will evaluate the assymetry to then perform the fonction "flipped" of the 
LOST package. 

I enconter some difficulties with the function flipped thought, because I 
am not certain of how to create the "land.pairs matrix ". I have twelve 
landmarks and the other twelve "NA" in an Ix3 matrix and thus I tried  : 

land.pairs <- matrix(1:24, ncol = 2)  

#run the "fllipped function" code

and after use : flipped(temps, land.pairs, show.plot = FALSE, axis = 1)

Error in reversed[land.pairs[i, 2], ] : indice out of bound 

When using solve (x) it says that it needs to be a square matrix.
