Subject: Re: [MORPHMET] Procrustes ANOVA for FA Analysis

Hi Kate,

If I understood correctly, I am not sure that you can do a Procrustes 
ANOVA-based FA test on a list of individuals where only few of them have been 
digitized a second time. If this is the case, then I would suggest this 
approach (might be other ones using what you already have but this is fast and 
works for me):

- have a separate landmark file that contains only the specimens you repeated 
(5 landmarks sets + 5 repeatded landmark sets = 10 landmark sets), whose names 
end on "-rep1" and "-rep2" or something alike but with the same amount of 
characters.
- create a classifier (eg "repeat) using the last characters of the name (in my 
example, first character would be -5 and the last, -1). Remember you have to 
create an "individual" classifier that covers all the remainig characters.
- run the procrustes ANOVA on this 10-individuals landmark set using as error 
term the "repeat" classifier. This way you will be able to quantify variation 
due to repeated landmarking against variation due to individual*side.

I hope this helps,
Viviana

Hello everyone,

I am a bit confused about how to properly import and classify data for a 
Procrustes ANOVA in MorphoJ. Here is some more information about my data:

15 3D landmarks on human faces (object symmetry)
479 individuals
15 landmarks from 5 individuals digitized a second time
Sex and age as additional main effects

I realize I need to include a classifier that indicates a repeat (to be added 
as an Error classifier), but I am unsure how to import these data. So far, I 
have imported 1) the original data text file which includes the identifier and 
the XYZ coordinates for the original 15 landmarks and 2) a classifier text file 
which includes sex and age as covariates. I have separate XYZ coordinates for 
the repeat landmarks, but I don't know how these should be imported to 
implement the "repeat" classifier.

Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks very much,
Kate
