EMMLi: Evaluating Modularity with Maximum Likelihood

​

The EMMLi package is available on CRAN, along with example test files from A. Goswami and J.A. Finarelli. 2016. EMMLi: A maximum likelihood approach to the analysis of modularity. Evolution, in press (available online).  Raw macaque landmark data used to generate the example test files are also available below and on Dryad.   

 

Paleomorph: tools for morphometric analysis of paleontological data

​

The Paleomorph package is available on CRAN. This package provides useful tools for conducting geometric morphometric analysis with missing data, as is common in fossil datasets, including mirroring symmetrical traits, Procrustes analysis with and without scaling and generation of traditional and vector covariances and correlations, all with skipping missing landmarks (rather than imputing).
