KrzSubspaceBootstrap: Quasi-Bayesian Krzanowski subspace comparison

Description

Calculates the usual Krzanowski subspace comparison using a posterior samples for a set of phenotypic covariance matrices. Then, this observed comparison is contrasted to the subspace comparison across a permutation of the original data. Residuals, which are used to calculate the observed P-matrices, are shuffled across groups. This process is repeated, creating a null distribution of subspace comparisons under the hypothesis that all P-matrices come from the same population. This method is a modification on the fully Bayesian method proposed in Aguirre et. al 2013 and improved in Morrisey et al 2019.

Usage

KrzSubspaceBootstrap(x, rep = 1, MCMCsamples = 1000, parallel = FALSE)

Value

A list with the observed and randomized eigenvalue distributions for the posterior Krz Subspace comparisons.

Arguments

x: list of linear models from which P-matrices should be calculated
rep: number of bootstrap samples to be made
MCMCsamples: number of MCMCsamples for each P-matrix posterior distribution.
parallel: if TRUE computations are done in parallel. Some foreach backend must be registered, like doParallel or doMC.
