Description for The Statistical Theory Of Shape
Hardback. Shape analysis is an exciting area of statistics with important applications in biology, computer science, and archeology. This book describes both the Kendall and the Bookstein schools of shape analysis and is intended for graduate students and researchers in statistics who have knowledge of the multivariate model. Series: Springer Series in Statistics. Num Pages: 240 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBMP; PBT; PDE; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 242 x 159 x 19. Weight in Grams: 524.
In general terms, the shape of an object, data set, or image can be de fined as the total of all information that is invariant under translations, rotations, and isotropic rescalings. Thus two objects can be said to have the same shape if they are similar in the sense of Euclidean geometry. For example, all equilateral triangles have the same shape, and so do all cubes. In applications, bodies rarely have exactly the same shape within measure ment error. In such cases the variation in shape can often be the subject of statistical analysis.
