moRphomenses - Geometric Morphometric Tools to Align, Scale, and Compare
"Shape" of Menstrual Cycle Hormones
Mitteroecker & Gunz (2009) <doi:10.1007/s11692-009-9055-x>
describe how geometric morphometric methods allow researchers
to quantify the size and shape of physical biological
structures. We provide tools to extend geometric morphometric
principles to the study of non-physical structures, hormone
profiles, as outlined in Ehrlich et al (2021)
<doi:10.1002/ajpa.24514>. Easily transform daily measures into
multivariate landmark-based data. Includes custom functions to
apply multivariate methods for data exploration as well as
hypothesis testing. Also includes 'shiny' web app to streamline
data exploration. Developed to study menstrual cycle hormones
but functions have been generalized and should be applicable to
any biomarker over any time period.
