Usage

library(EDMAinR)
#> EDMAinR 0.1-3     2020-06-12

file1 <- system.file("extdata/crouzon/Crouzon_P0_Global_MUT.xyz",
    package="EDMAinR")
x1 <- read_xyz(file1)
x1
#> EDMA data: Crouzon P0 MUT
#> 3 dimensions, 47 landmarks, 28 specimens

file2 <- system.file("extdata/crouzon/Crouzon_P0_Global_NON-MUT.xyz",
    package="EDMAinR")
x2 <- read_xyz(file2)
x2
#> EDMA data: Crouzon P0 UNAFF
#> 3 dimensions, 47 landmarks, 31 specimens

B <- 9

fit <- edma_fit(x1, B=B)
fit
#> EDMA nonparametric fit: Crouzon P0 MUT
#> Call: edma_fit(x = x1, B = B)
#> 3 dimensions, 47 landmarks, 28 replicates, 9 bootstrap runs
