ToothDF

Description

Tool to build a data.frame suitable for morphometric maps

Usage

ToothDF(
  tooth.thickness,
  rem.out = TRUE,
  fac.out = 0.5,
  smooth = TRUE,
  scale = TRUE,
  smooth.iter = 5,
  method = "equiangular",
  labels = c("Li", "Mes", "Bu", "D", "Li"),
  relThick = FALSE
)

Arguments

tooth.thickness

list: tooth.Thickness object

rem.out

logical: if TRUE the outlier will be removed

fac.out

numeric: parameter to set the threshold in outliers detection

smooth

logical: if TRUE the smooth algorithm is applied

scale

logical: if TRUE the thichkness matrix is scaled from 0 to 1

smooth.iter

numeric: number of smoothing iterations

method

character: if set on "equiangular" the dental thickness is meant as the distance of the segment intersecting the external and internal outline starting from the centroid of the section. If set on "closest" the dental thickness is calculated at each point as the closest distance between external and internal outlines

labels

character vector: names for x labels in the morphometric map

relThick

logical: if TRUE the dental thickness is converted into relative dental thickness

Value

XYZ data.frame for morphometric map

labels character vector for x labels in the morphometric map
