This book is addressed to both institutional researchers and students. For the first time, it explains how to use R for performing shape statistical analysis. It covers many theoretical and applied aspects, and leads the user as well as the developer to get adaptability in an evolving science.

With a single book in a single environment, learn how to perform shape analysis from data acquisition to a variety of adapted statistics. Examples of codes, displays and exercises provide a progressive tutorial on the discipline of statistical shape analysis. Understand, develop and adapt your own toolkit for your needs in morphometrics. Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
