Use of two-block partial least-squares to study covariation in shape.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relatively new two-block partial least-squares method for analyzing the covariance between two sets of variables is described and contrasted with the well-known method of canonical correlation analysis. Their statistical properties, type of answers, and visualization techniques are discussed. Examples are given to show its usefulness in comparing two sets of variables--especially when one or both of the sets of variables are shape variables from a geometric morphometric study.

Exploring phylogenetic and functional signals in complex morphologies: the hamate of extant anthropoids as a test-case study.
Three-dimensional geometric morphometrics (3DGM) is a powerful tool for capturing and visualizing the "pure" shape of complex structures. However, these shape differences are sometimes difficult to interpret from a functional viewpoint, unless specific approaches (mostly based on biomechanical modeling) are employed. Here, we use 3DGM to explore the complex shape variation of the hamate, the di...
متن کاملShape variation and covariation of upper and lower dental arches of an orthodontic population.
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to quantify the patterns of shape variability and the extent and patterns of shape covariation between the upper and lower dental arch in an orthodontic population. METHODS Dental casts of 133 white subjects (61 males, 72 females; ages 10.6-26.6) were scanned and digitized in three dimensions. Landmarks were placed on the incisal margins and on the cusps of canines...
متن کاملCovariation between shape and bone microstructure in the proximal tibia in humans
Prosthetic knee replacement is a surgical procedure designed to restore knee joint function in cases of advanced osteoarthritis and fracture. Since tibial morphology and microstructure vary among different individuals, the surgeon’s anatomical expertise and knowledge of various implant designs is essential. In order to contribute to the pre-surgical diagnosis of bone degradation, we investigate...
متن کاملFacial Orientation and Facial Shape in Extant Great Apes: A Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Covariation
The organization of the bony face is complex, its morphology being influenced in part by the rest of the cranium. Characterizing the facial morphological variation and craniofacial covariation patterns in extant hominids is fundamental to the understanding of their evolutionary history. Numerous studies on hominid facial shape have proposed hypotheses concerning the relationship between the ant...

The potential of Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) as a fast method to predict the Crude Protein (CP) and Moisture (M) content in fishmeal by scanning spectra between 1000 and 2500 nm using multivariate regression technique based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) was evaluated. The coefficient of determination in calibration (R2C) and Standard Error of Calibra...
