MorphoTools2 - Multivariate Morphometric Analysis
Tools for multivariate analyses of morphological data,
wrapped in one package, to make the workflow convenient and
fast. Statistical and graphical tools provide a comprehensive
framework for checking and manipulating input data, statistical
analyses, and visualization of results. Several methods are
provided for the analysis of raw data, to make the dataset
ready for downstream analyses. Integrated statistical methods
include hierarchical classification, principal component
analysis, principal coordinates analysis, non-metric
multidimensional scaling, and multiple discriminant analyses:
canonical, stepwise, and classificatory (linear, quadratic, and
the non-parametric k nearest neighbours). The philosophy of the
package is described in Šlenker et al. 2022.
