Bookstein, F. L. 2018. A Course in Morphometrics for Biologists. Geometry and Statistics for Studies of Organismal Form. Cambridge University Press. 556 p.
Book Description
This book teaches not only the 'how' for statistical analysis of organismal size and shape, but also the 'when' and the 'why'. Aimed at graduate students and researchers, it covers the whole range of today's best techniques while always emphasizing the ways that arithmetic leads to biological understanding.
About the Author
Fred L. Bookstein is generally considered the founder of modern morphometrics, an interdisciplinary field bridging computer vision, statistical science, and organismal biology. His most lasting contribution to the field is probably his 1989 invention of the thin-plate spline for depiction and decomposition of changes in landmark configurations, a method that has appeared in countless scientific publications, several courtroom proceedings, and even a dance concert. A Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, he was the first winner (2011) of the Rohlf Medal for Excellence in Morphometrics. This is his eighth book.
