Re: [MORPHMET] Newly added samples as outliers in TPS file

2016-06-27 Thread Collyer, Michael
Anurag, I assume you are doing one GPA for the combined data and not combining the data after GPA has been performed separately on both subsets. The latter surely could lead to the problem you describe. I recommend, if you have not done so already, using the plotOutliers function. It will

Brenna, The PCA you performed produces a list of objects, one of which is a matrix of PC scores. Change AIS.PC to AISPC$x, and it should work. In this case, $x is the matrix of scores. The help files for the functions you use tell you the objects that are returned. You can also use

Ari, If you are using geomorph, you might want to update it via GitHub. Just a few days ago we updated the software with some bug fixes for surface points (one bug fix was for assuring non-arbitrary directions in PC planes for tangents of surface points). If you are unsure how to do that,

Re: [MORPHMET] plotTangentSpace() versus prcomp() in geomorph

2016-01-19 Thread Collyer, Michael
Dear Brenna, It appears the problem is that you are attempting to use prcomp on your points(p) x dimensions(k) x n Procrustes coordinates without converting these data into a n x pk matrix, required by prcomp. Unfortunately, prcomp will use the first p x k part of the array of coordinates,

2015-08-24 Thread Collyer, Michael
This is correct. The function, trajectory.analysis, compares multi-point trajectories; therefore, age would need to be modeled as a categorical variable (factor). If one wishes to have age (or similar variable) in the model as a continuous variable, then advanced.procD.lm would be more

Thanks for the alert Alejo! This was the result of one missing word in the code. It has been fixed (I hope) and you can update geomorph via Github, if you like. e.g., devtools::install_github(“EmSherratt/geomorph”) Note that this requires having devtools installed. Cheers! Mike Michael

Hi Michelle, One problem might be misinterpreting what R displays when you use a function rather than what R might save as an object if you create an object based on the function. For example, you could input the following gpagen(mylandmarks, curves = mycurves, PrinAxes = T) and R would
