Subject: combining two data set
To: [email protected]
Hi,
I have two data sets, one of several specimens with their landmark
values in lateral view, and then the exact same specimens but then
with their landmark values in dorsal view. These landmarks were
obtained in tpsDIG.
I don't want to compare the dorsal and lateral views of these
specimens to one another but I want to combine them. Hence, how do I
manipulate tpsRELW so that it doesn't treat the dorsal and ventral as
separate individuals, but uses both the ventral and dorsal landmark
values to produce one individual output for each specimen? Hope this
makes sense. If it isn't possible to do this in tpsRELW would I have
to get the mean values of the x coordinates of the dorsal and lateral
views, and the mean values of the y coordinates of the dorsal and
lateral view of each specimen in order to do this?
If anyone knows how to do this in MorphoJ and Past that would be great
as well. I know there is a link data-sets option in MorphoJ that
requires the identifiers in the two data-sets to be the same or that
they match. However, when I try to link the two data-sets nothing
seems to happen, unless I'm missing the obvious somehow. Sorry, if I am.
Many Thanks,
Wendy den Boe
