Solve shape-analysis problems in R using measurements, landmarks and outlines. The programme develops data organisation and image processing before geometric transformations, alternative superimposition methods and Procrustes analysis. Participants visualise shape differences, test allometry and multivariate hypotheses, and compare principal-component, discriminant and regression approaches. Outline analysis introduces several Fourier representations and their statistical interpretation; participants can bring their own morphological datasets. Live sessions: 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 Dece
