ABSTRACT
As an application of the theoretical results in Chapter 13, here we give a large
sample confidence region for the extrinsic mean shape of a configuration of
eight landmarks obtained from X-rays of midfaces of clinically healthy eight
year old children in terms of simultaneous confidence intervals for the affine
coordinates of the extrinsic sample mean shape. We also illustrate a test for the
difference between 3D mean shapes in a problem involving the detection of
glaucomatous mean shape change.
