Dear morphometricians

I just posted a new update for MorphoJ on the web site:
http://www.flywings.org.uk/MorphoJ_page.htm

The update, to version 1.02e contains the following changes:

2-block partial least squares: The main change in the new version is a
bug fix in the computations of the P-values for the permutation tests of
the correlations between corresponding PLS scores. The test for these
correlations in the previous versions was erroneous. But even after the
bug is fixed, you should be careful in interpreting the results of this
test, and the correlation between the corresponding PLS scores in the
two blocks is probably best taken as a descriptive statistic (i.e., best
ignore the P-value). The problem is that these correlations can behave
strangely if sample sizes are small or if there are dimensions with very
little or no variation. Thanks to Andrea Cardini for flagging this up.

The new version also contains fixes for a variety of minor bugs
(unhelpful error messages etc.). Thanks to all who reported these
occurrences.

Best wishes,
Chris
