Abstract

This paper presents a novel Bayesian method based on the complex Watson shape distribution that is used in detecting shape differences between the second thoracic vertebrae for two groups of mice, small and large, categorized according to their body weight. Considering the data provided in Johnson et al. (1988), we provide Bayesian methods of estimation as well as highest posterior density (HPD) estimates for modal vertebrae shapes within each group. Finally, we present a classification procedure that can be used in any shape classification experiment, and apply it for categorizing new vertebrae shapes in small or large groups.
