If the expectation of the empirical estimator for mean p-value is a function of the number iterations that becomes asymptotically unbiased, then this would explain the simulation results (attachment in the original posting), since for small number of iterations, some bias would remain, and onl

Yes that is more precise. In my post to the query I only noted that the variance in significance levels across multiple permutation tests decreases as the number of iterations increases. Joe's post provides the equation for the expected value of that variance; mine provided reference to an emp

Thank you Mauro for the suggestions. Indeed, as you surmise, digitizing within R is not at all straightforward, but we will do our best to improve the experience for users of geomorph. Best, Dean Dr. Dean C. Adams Professor Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology Depar

[MORPHMET] Suggestions for geomorph

Dear members of the geomorph Development Team, I have been using the digitize2d() function of the geomorph R package to obtain landmark coordinates from my fish specimens.It works fine, but I respectfully have two suggestions for its improvement. First one is quite simple: when end of file is rea

Jo, There were two issues with the file. First, you had single curly quotes in front of the specimen names. These should be simple ascii character quotes instead. Second, you had missing data in one of the specimens. For downstream analyses in geomorph that is fine, but at present the read.mo

Dear all, I'm trying to read a morphologika formatted file into geomorph, but getting the following error message: > read.morphologika("combodatatest.txt") Error in dimnames(coords)[[3]] <- names : length of 'dimnames' [3] not equal to array extent I'm not sure how I've formatted the .txt file
