Dear all,
     I used the “procD.lm” function in the geomorph package to test the measurement error. I was surprised to find that the within-groups ANOVA sum of squares  I got was greater than the among-groups ANOVA sum of squares. I wonder if something went wrong. What does it mean for “procD.lm” function to get an F value <1?
I would be very happy if someone could help me.
Yours,
Sam

Dear Sam,
I saw you attached my review on the topic so I thought I would chime in. If your within-group sum of squares is larger it can be that you have large measurement error.

However, I'd like to point out that in this case by "group" one means "individual" as the usual way of running a Procrustes ANOVA to quantify measurement error is to use the "individual" as predictor/factor. When run this way on a dataset with repeated measurements, the "group"/"individual" sum of squares quantifies the variation among individuals (e.g., specimens) and the "within group" ("within-individual" or residual) sum of squares quantifies the variation among repeated measurements of the same individuals.

I'm not saying this is your case, but sometimes I've come across Procrustes ANOVAs with different designs interpreted as if they were appropriate to quantify measurement error (for instance, using "repetition" as a predictor/factor). So I thought I would point that out to avoid confusion in others.

Best,
Carmelo
