A simple procedure for the comparison of covariance matrices.

BMC evolutionary biology - 21 Nov 2012

Garcia Carlos

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Comparing the covariation patterns of populations or species is a basic step in the evolutionary analysis of quantitative traits. Here I propose a new, simple method to make this comparison in two population samples that is based on comparing the variance explained in each sample by the eigenvectors of its own covariance matrix with that explained by the covariance matrix eigenvectors of the other...
