Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"A key feature of this book is the extensive use of R, both through the direct use of code and through references to a large number of packages relevant to the morphometrics area.... This is an interesting book and I certainly learned new things by reading it. Its particular contribution is to bring together a wide variety of tools, both statistical and computational, which are relevant to morphometrics and to present these in a very practical manner through R. Those who are new to the topic are likely to gain most value from the book once they have gained some familiarity with at least some of the tools involved. However, the synthesis of tools presented here will undoubtedly lead readers into contact with, and subsequent understanding of. a wider array of methods at a very practical level."
