Betreff: [MORPHMET] tpsRelw problem fixed!

 

I just uploaded a new version (1.57) of tpsRelw to the 
life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph site.  The problem with being unable to close a 
window should now be fixed. As always, it is best to uninstall the old version 
before installing the new one.

 

Sorry for the delay in fixing the problem but my Internet access was not very 
good at the Galapagos or Machu Picchu. The rocking of the boat and then the 
thin oxygen did not help either. However, they were very interesting places to 
visit!

[MORPHMET] On-line morphometrics course from Manchester

2015-06-29 Thread Chris Klingenberg 

Dear morphometricians

I am pleased to announce this year's morphometrics course from the 
University of Manchester. This year's course will run in the six weeks 
from 2 November to 11 December 2015.


The course information can be found on the following we site:
http://www.flywings.org.uk/MorphoCourse

Course content:
*  Data acquisition: the kinds of data and the equipment used to collect 
them.

*  Definitions of size and shape
*  Geometric methods to characterise shape from a configuration of 
landmark points (Procrustes superimposition)

*  Statistics of variation, scatter plots, basic multivariate statistics
*  Principal component analysis
*  Measurement error and outliers
*  Shape transformations and 'warping' -- the thin plate spline
*  Analysis of outline shapes
*  Distinguishing between groups (taxonomy, clinical diagnosis, etc.)
*  Allometry and size correction
*  Influence of external factors on shape (ecomorphology, dose-response 
studies)

*  Symmetric forms and measurement of asymmetry.
*  Morphometric inferences on developmental processes
*  Morphological integration and modularity
*  Genetics of shape: analyses of resemblance between relatives, QTL 
analyses.

*  Phylogeny: reconstructing the evolution of shape


Practice examples:
As far as possible, practical exercises are provided to accompany the 
course content. These practice exercises consist of data sets and 
explanations on how to run the respective analyses using the MorphoJ 
software (http://www.flywings.org.uk/MorphoJ_page.htm).
Participants who already have their own data are encouraged to use those 
and to discuss them as part of the course. I hope there will be a bit of 
a 'workshop' feel to the course unit.


Group work:
Participants will work in small groups to prepare web presentations of 
possible morphometric studies (wikis prepared by the groups). This 
activity stimulates discussion and provides a broad overview of the 
broad range of questions that can be addressed with morphometric methods.



The fee for the course is GBP 330.00.

All prospective participants need to pre-register for the course. The 
deadline for this is the *30 September 2015*.


For further details and the pre-registration form, see the course web page:
http://www.flywings.org.uk/MorphoCourse


Best wishes,
Chris

[MORPHMET] New version of Morpho and Rvcg

2015-06-29 Thread Stefan Schlager 
Dear all,

I released new versions of my R-packages *Morpho* and *Rvcg* on CRAN. 

Here are the changes.
New features in Morpho 2.3.0

   - 
   
   added function line2plane to calculate intersection of a line and a 
   plane 
   - 
   
   added option pcAlign in function mirror to improve alignment to original 
   object 
   - 
   
   added option pcAlign in relWarps and procSym to allow alignment to first 
   specimen rather than PC-axes. 
   - 
   
   Gregory Jefferis added unit testing setup infrastructure 
   - 
   
   added new functions getPLSfromScores, getPLSscores, predictPLSfromScores,
   predictPLSfromData and plsCoVar for prediction and handling results from 
   2-Block PLS regression. 
   - 
   
   made relaxLM an S3 function and added methods for mesh3d to relax two 
   meshes with corresponding vertices. Added use.lm to specify subset of 
   coordinates for alignment if bending =FALSE 
   - 
   
   new option 'as.factor' in name2factor 
   - 
   
   deprecated warp.mesh (use tps3d now for meshes and matrices) 
   - 
   
   meshDist now allows custom colorramps 
   - 
   
   added option wireframe in deformGrid2d 
   - 
   
   added support for registered meshes in computeTransform 
   - 
   
   added selection of transform type in icpmat 
   - 
   
   added option use.lm to slider3d to specify subset for alignment if 
   bending =FALSE 
   - 
   
   added getMeaningfulPCs to determine meaningful Principal Components, 
   following Booksteins suggestion. 
   - 
   
   made optimization in pcAlign and mirror run in parallel (not supported 
   on Windows OS). 
   
bugfixes and minor changes in Morpho

   - 
   
   fixed normal handling in mergeMeshes 
   - 
   
   fixed coefficient scaling in RegScore 
   - 
   
   added update of normals in meshDist 
   - 
   
   removed unnecessary function meanMat and replaced it with generic 
   colMeans 
   - 
   
   fixed calculation of loadings in pls2B
   

Changes in Rvcg version 0.12.2 
new features 
   
   - 
   
   updated vcglib source code to Revision: 5521 
   - 
   
   added option as.int to vcgIsosurface 
   - 
   
   added option iterate in vcgClean 
   
bug fixes 
   
   - 
   
   removed wrong error call in vcgKDtree 
   - 
   
   silenced all output in vcgQEdecim if silent=T 
   

Best
