Dear morphometers, I would like some advice towards detailed documentation on the algorithms and methods used by TPStree to estimate ancestral configurations. This is because I want to compare the results of a module called Rhetenor (E. Dyreson and W. Maddison) in Mesquite (A modular system for evolutionary analysis by W. Maddison and D. Maddison) and TPStree.
I understand TPStree does the estimation of ancestral shapes by working on partial warps. However, the estimations carried out by Rhetenor seem to be based on coordinate data only, thus the results between both are different. Thanks for the help provided Pablo Pablo Jarrin Grad. Student Dept. of Biology Boston University -- Replies will be sent to the list. For more information visit http://www.morphometrics.org
