Dear, I'm a student working on Leafs morphology of Oak hybrids. I have followed the protocol of Vincenzo Viscosi and Andrea Cardini. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0025630 The Aim of my study : In my study area there is only two described Hybrides in the literature. I would like to check by using GMM, if there is other hybrids. I would like make a clusters of the sampled trees without separating them on differentes populations and compare the typical leaf form of each groupe with the botanical discription. I have a sample of 84 trees, where I have selected 10 leaves per tree with repitition (then I got 20 images/ tree). I have digitized 11 landmarks per leave for the 84 trees, as specified in the Protocol, My question is: Could you please, show me the next steps in order to make an unsupervised classification or other techniques to define groups of trees.
