The Inappropriate Symmetries of Multivariate Statistical Analysis in Geometric Morphometrics [PDF]

open access: yesEvolutionary Biology, 2016
In today's geometric morphometrics the commonest multivariate statistical procedures, such as principal component analysis or regressions of Procrustes shape coordinates on Centroid Size, embody a tacit roster of symmetries-axioms concerning the homogeneity of the multiple spatial domains or descriptor vectors involved-that do not correspond to actual ...
