Patrick, PAST is "free" as in "free beer", not as in *free speech*. It is gratis, but not open. The problem you have is just typical of such black box approach to scientific software development -- since one cannot see the source code, it is not possible to check how this or that algorithm is impl

I can’t help you with PAST, but this reference will allow you to compute the correct statistics for a standardized major axis (often erroneously called a reduced major axis) regression. Warton, D. I., et al., 2006, Bivariate line-fitting methods for allometry: Biological Reviews, v. 81, no. 2,

2016-03-12 Thread Patrick Arnold
Dear morphometrics, I am frequently using PAST (paleontological statistics; what a great free software) for the analysis of morphometric data (geometric and traditional). Now I want to do a reduced major axis regression on bivariate data (only one Y for each X). However, I do not found the
