moRphomenses: Geometric Morphometric Tools to Align, Scale, and Compare "Shape" of Menstrual Cycle Hormones

Mitteroecker & Gunz (2009) <doi:10.1007/s11692-009-9055-x> describe how geometric morphometric methods allow researchers to quantify the size and shape of physical biological structures. We provide tools to extend geometric morphometric principles to the study of non-physical structures, hormone profiles, as outlined in Ehrlich et al (2021) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.24514>. Easily transform daily measures into multivariate landmark-based data. Includes custom functions to apply multivariate methods for data exploration as well as hypothesis testing. Also includes 'shiny' web app to streamline data exploration. Developed to study menstrual cycle hormones but functions have been generalized and should be applicable to any biomarker over any time period.
