Analysis of Pattern (ANOPA) and multidimensional scaling are techniques that reduce the dimensionality of a dataset to three dimensions. These methods have been used in a number of baraminological studies, many of which have not yet been published. This website will track published references to multivariate techniques as well as serve as an electronic repository for 3D results on various taxa.
