Subject:        Using SHAPE outputs to perform a CVA

I am using the software SHAPE (Iwata & Ukai, 2002) but I would now like
to carry out a Canonical variates analysis in SAS.  I am unsure which
output from the SHAPE software I should be using.  I thought I could use
the normalized EF coefficients (maximum harmonic number of 20) but SHAPE
uses the variance-covariance matrix to perform the PCA in Princomp?
Which output from SHAPE should be used and why?



Thank you in advance for your time!

    Dear Dr. Klingenberg,

    Looks superb and I will soon try it under Ubuntu Linux 8.04 ("Hardy
    Heron"). Just a question - does the MorphoJ distribution package
    includes the Java source code? Availability of source code is a
    pre-condition to enlist software in the Digital Taxonomy
    (http://digitaltaxonomy.infobio.net) website.

    With best regards,
