This book frames and demonstrates the best of modern morphometric methods, bridging the gap between biostatistics and organismal biology.

Recenzje

'Statistics is the common language of the sciences, but few scientists speak it as fluently as Fred L. Bookstein. His new book starts by introducing the basic vocabulary of statistics - averages, correlation, regression - and continues to explain the foundations of multivariate statistics and geometric morphometrics. Even though written for advanced students, the historical, conceptual, and geometrical insights in this book will surprise even experienced scientists and statisticians.' Philipp Mitteröcker, University of Vienna
