I plan to give a graduate course open to both theoretically inclined students and to more experimentalists.
There will be common lectures twice a week in period 1 in the fall, but the assignments will be divided into two categories: one more theoretical and the other more applied.
There are two different text-book suggestions: Geometric Morphometrics for Biologists, Zelditch et al, 2004; and Morphometric Tools for Landmark Data, F. Bookstein, 1991.
Some key words:
mean landmark locations,
biorthogonal directions,
mean landmark configuration,
rat calvarial growth,
relative eigenanalysis,
net bending energy, log anisotropy,
first relative warp,
single size variable,
interlandmark distances,
centroid size,
relative warps,
baseline landmarks,
circular noise,
spherical blackboard,
partial warps,
morphometric questions,
principal warps,
constructed landmarks,
observed shape change,
inhomogeneous transformation,
ordinary principal components,
landmark configurations,
landmark displacements,
landmark data
Schedule: Tuesdays
