[MORPHMET] Error with read.ply in geomorph

[MORPHMET] Read .landmarkAscii file into R

2016-01-19 Thread David Katz
s of these triplets are 0,0,1 (or maybe 1,0,0). This is really strange behavior. A read function shouldn't write. My issue may be better suited to an R forum, but I am hoping someone here has reliable code for reading Avizo landmarks into R. Thanks in advance. David -- David Katz

Hi Giada, The object may simply be too small. However... 1. My recollection is that you need to keep your f-stop much lower, maybe f-11 maximum. Look into it. It's possible this has changed with recent software updates. 2. I assume each chunk is a rotation around the skull. Try shooting more tha

Elahe and Ari, If your dependent observations have more than a few dimensions, such as is typical with landmark data or even a collections of linear measurements, then I think the common covariance matrix recommendation from Dr. Rohlf is the more standard approach. A typical strategy for removing

Re: [MORPHMET] relative positions of landmark partitions in integration tests - how important?

I read Christy's question a little differently, and requiring some clarification. First, Dean, doesn't Dean & Felice fix the angle between jaw and cranium so that you can subject a craniomandibular dataset to a common GPA, which at the PLS step has the benefit of preserving relative size relations
