Could someone please recommend me a good student text (print or internet
site) explaining the theory and practice of Principal Components
Analysis as it is applied to assessing morphological variation in
biology?

 

I am also looking around at various software options for PCA, so advice
on this would also be very helpful.

 

Regards

Mark
