Package: vcvComp Title: Comparison of Variance - Covariance Patterns Version: 1.0.3 Authors@R: c( person("Anne", "Le Maitre", email = "anne.le.maitre@univie.ac.at", role = c("aut", "cre"), comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0003-2690-7367")), person("Philipp", "Mitteroecker", email = "philipp.mitteroecker@univie.ac.at", role = "aut", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-5308-3837"))) Date: 2026-07-22 Description: Comparison of variance - covariance patterns using relative principal component analysis (relative eigenanalysis), as described in Le Maitre and Mitteroecker (2019) . Also provides functions to compute group covariance matrices, distance matrices, and perform proportionality tests. A worked sample on the body shape of cichlid fishes is included, based on the dataset from Kerschbaumer et al. (2013) .
