However, we cannot visualise 76 dimensional space so we have used PCA to choose a view point (a rotation of the space) such that we can see the two principle components. This allows us to visualise and '''focus on the significant (in the sense of accounting for the most variance) parameters'''. Of course, it might be another component that is most significant in biological terms. It is also quite possible that the biologically important parameters are correlated non-linearly in which case they could be invisible in this project because they are distributed into the new components as awkwardly as they were in the original data. | ||

What is Shape Space?
Mean shape
How do we view shape space?
From the AAMToolbox interface click the View Shape Space button.
- First Add samples (Add button).
- Load the sample data (point models).
- Plot Data, optionally make the axis equal (to keep a balanced view)
- Change Colour (far right button) to select a colour
- Ellipse to draw an ellipse around most of the data
