dear morphometricians,
would you know how could I test my data for the presence of antisymmetry using morphoJ and R?
I have already places 32 landmarks on all my skulls and performed procrustes fit followed by a procrustes anova.
I know that I'm supposed to test my data for skewness and kurtosis but I can't figure out how to concretely do that...
I was thinking of exporting my asymmetric components from morphoJ and use the "moments" package from R which contains skewness and kurtosis functions.
But I'm not sure this is a valid method.
Thank you very much for your advices
Adrien, (a young morphometrician in progress)
