Hi all, I'm a MSc Palaeobiology student at the University of Bristol and I'm about to start a 3-D Geometric Morphometric study on a sample of modern human skulls, using a microscribe. I'm working with a statistician to explore how to minimise information loss if using a carefully-selected subset of landmarks. To this end we'd like to carry out a procedure called Principle Variables on an existing dataset of 3-D co-ordinates. I wondered if anyone's aware of any freely available datasets we could run an analysis on or if anyone would be able/willing to share raw data with me. The outcome might be quite useful in general. Thanks and best wishes Jo ----- End forwarded message -----
