Abstract
Methods
Online Appendix of the main mansucript, containing all the formulas and computational details as well as a description of the R package.
Midsagittal landmarks digitized on high-resolution CT scans of a geographically diverse sample of 24 adult human crania (16 females, 8 males). The landmark set comprises 30 anatomical landmarks and 57 semilandmarks.
We provide an R file including functions to compute bending energies, principal warps, partial warp scores, and the non-affine component of shape variation for 2D landmark configurations as well as functions to compute Mardia-Dryden distributions and self-similar distributions of landmarks. We also provide a worked example using the landmark data.
Usage notes
Semilandmarks are the landmarks #: 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 37, 43, 44, 45, 48, 54, 55, 63, 65, 64, 66, 69, 70, 60, 73, 74, 75, 77, 79, 81, 83, 85, 87, 89, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 91, 93, 92
