Hello everyone (again),
After trying some things, I still end up with a different result in R and in TPS when I try to run a PCA/RWA on sliding semilandmarks. The dataset is identical for both. I have tried aligning with both bending energy and with procrustes in both programs. I ran a Mantel test in PAST, as per a suggestion I received from my earlier message, and got an R of 0.9784 and p=0.5. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this on their own data and if you have any other potential explanations for the cause of the difference? Thanks for any and all help! I greatly appreciate it.

Hi everyone!
I'm working on a project in which I use sliding semilandmarks. I've run the dataset through the tpsRelW software and through R using the geomorph package, but I get different results using each. I've fixed the slider file to allow for sliding semilandmarks in geomorph. My understanding is the RWA is equivalent to PCA, so would there be a difference in a PC1vPC2 versus a RW1vRw2 plot?

Thanks for the help!
