Description: Comparison of variance - covariance patterns using relative principal component analysis (relative eigenanalysis), as described in Le Maitre and Mitteroecker (2019) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13253>. 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) <doi:10.5061/dryad.fc02f>.
