The new edition lays the foundations of landmark shape analysis, including geometrical concepts and statistical techniques, and extends to include analysis of curves, surfaces, images and other types of object data. Key definitions and concepts are discussed throughout, and the relative merits of different approaches are presented.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors have included substantial new material on recent statistical developments and offer numerous examples throughout the text. Concepts are introduced in an accessible manner, while retaining sufficient detail for more specialist statisticians to appreciate the challenges and opportunities of this new field. Computer code has been included for instructional use, along with exercises to enable readers to implement the applications themselves in R and to follow the key ideas by hands-on analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a detailed yet accessible treatment of statistical methods for shape analysis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes numerous examples and applications from many disciplines\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides R code for implementing the examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers a wide variety of recent developments in shape analysis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eShape Analysis, with Applications in R\u003c\/i\u003e will offer a valuable introduction to this fast-moving research area for statisticians and other applied scientists working in diverse areas, including archaeology, bioinformatics, biology, chemistry, computer science, medicine, morphometics and image analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIan Dryden\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Nottingham, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKanti Mardia\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Leeds and University of Oxford, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 September 2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470699621\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e496\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379110277260,"sku":"9780470699621","price":99.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470699621_6158dba7-bd01-4989-8a1d-a7b636ac4e72.jpg?v=1780105009","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470699621","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
