The data and python scripts required to reproduce the analyses of associated paper: Ito T. 2019. Methods in Ecology and Evolution Date: Jul 26 2019 Contact: Tsuyoshi Ito (ito.tsuyoshi.3a@kyoto-u.ac.jp) File descriptions: segmentation.zip*: Python scripts for segmentation. |- dicom: Empty directory. The directories that contain dicom series should be placed here. The dicom data used in this study are available at the Digital Morphology Museum, KUPRI (dmm.pri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/dmm/WebGallery/). |- python: python scripts ("main.py", "/modules/hmh.py", "/modules/preprocess.py", "/modules/segws.py"), required information ("profiles.csv" and "threshold.csv"), and the implementation results of comparison test and HMH calculation ("pf_results.csv" and "hmh_thresholds.csv"). plys.zip*: 3D surface models in ply format, which were created using the python scripts and Amira software. landmarks.zip*: landmarks data in csv format, which were taken from the 3D surface models using Stratovan Checkpoint software. The file names were linkable-anonymized (see the main text), which can be identified by "anonylist.csv". sample_list.csv: The list of samples. anonylist.csv: The list that is used for identifying the linkable-anonymized files. WoS.zip*: The data of Web of Science literature survey. *Zip files were compressed using the default compressor of macOS Mojave 10.14.6.
