LORY implements the methods described in Marquez et al. (2012) for the estimation of shape variables that measure local differences in shape between individual samples and their Procrustes mean. “Local” refers herein to infinitesimal differences in shape mapped continuously over entire configurations; these differentials give rise to shape variables that differ from other variables such as Proc...
