Heterogeneous Methods for Shape and Other Multidimensional Data
Overview
Tools for geometric morphometric analyses and multidimensional data. Implements methods for morphological disparity analysis using bootstrap and rarefaction, as reviewed in Foote (1997) doi:10.1146/annurev.ecolsys.28.1.129. Includes integration and modularity testing, following Fruciano et al. (2013) doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0069376, using Escoufier's RV coefficient as test statistic as well as two-block partial least squares - PLS, Rohlf and Corti (2000) doi:10.1080/106351500750049806. Also includes vector angle comparisons, orthogonal projection for data correction (Burnaby (1966) doi:10.2307/2528217; Fruciano (2016) doi:10.1007/s00427-016-0537-4), and parallel analysis for dimensionality reduction (Buja and Eyuboglu (1992) doi:10.1207/s15327906mbr2704_2).
- Improved permutation loop in
pls(), which now reduces the memory footprint of permutation testing - Added optional parallelism to
pls()via thefuture/future.applyframework. Permutation tests can now exploit multiple workers when afuture::plan()with more than one worker is active. - Made
Kmultparallel()and its S3 methods (print.parallel_Kmult(),plot.parallel_Kmult(),summary.parallel_Kmult()) defunct. All implementation code and examples have been removed; calling these functions now signals an informative error. Users should migrate togeomorph::physignal()for computing phylogenetic signal (parallel implementation is nowadays trivial). - Moved
apefromDependstoSuggestssince no remaining exported function usesapedirectly.
