Or will they have to be redone manually one by one? On a potentially related issue to one of those you fixed, I've had colleagues reporting some apparently strange results (100% wrongly classified individuals in x-validated DAs) using small samples relative to the number of landmarks. That did not happen, I believe, when we re-did those analyses in R, PAST, SPSS using PCs (all of them, subsets and also, I think, we might have done it using simulated data). I wonder whether that too was some kind of issue with small sample sizes. I guess you'd say that one should not do DAs in those cases, and I agree, but yet this might happen more often now that many people use semilandmarks. Possibly the software could issue a warning. Thanks for your help and for going on improving MorphoJ. It's a wonderful software.
