Salvatore, I won't comment on whether to use log weight "to increase the correlation" -- that depends on whether that makes sense, and whether the relationships with other variables is more nearly linear. Try this with your pca of the correlation matrix: biplot(pca_morpho) You'll see that

Hi Salvatore, If by "size" you mean volume, why not directly measure the volume of your animals? They appear to be fairly small. Sometimes working out what the critical value actually means can inform the way to measure it. Jim On Sun, Nov 13, 2016 at 4:46 PM, Sidoti, Salvatore A. wrote: > Let'

While you may get a reply here, this list is about R programming, not about statistics. So 1. Do your homework and read a tutorial on PCA on the web or elsewhere. Isn't this what a PhD student is supposed to do? 2. Post on a statistics list like stats.stackexchange.com. 3. Consult your professor
