Stata 9.2 does a simple Procrustes analysis. But you probably would do better using Rohlf's software series (including tpsregr) from SUNY's morphometrics web site. It is superb.
I am curious if this kind of approach is going to work for you. Cleft lips and such produce such gross differences in tissue structure, that you may have landmarks that do not correspond between groups. What are you comparing exactly, if I can ask? -Dave On Oct 16, 2006, at 4:58 AM, morphmet wrote: > I would like to run aprocrustes analysis on data of subjects with > cleft > lip and palate and comparing them to control group.
