Doran et al. ◀ Dinosaur baraminology ▶ 2018 ICC 415 Figure 9. PCA scores for Nesbitt’s (2009) data matrix for basal Saurischia. PC 1 accounts for 37.4% of the variance and PC 3 accounts for 9.1% of the variance. PC 3 does not distinguish theropods, sauropodomorphs, and ornithischians; only ingroups and outgroups are separated. Figure 10 . BDC results for Tykoski and Rowe’s (2004) data matrix of Ceratosauria, as calculated by BDISTMDS (relevance cutoff 0.75). Closed squares indicate significant, positive BDC; open circles indicate significant, negative BDC. Figure 11 . Three-dimensional classical MDS applied to Tykowski and Rowe’s (2004) data matrix for Ceratosauria. Members of Abelisauroidea are shown in gray, outgroups ( e.g., tetanurans) are in light red, distant outgroup is dark red, and all other taxa are orange ( e.g., Coelophysoidea). The outgroup clusters near Herrerasaurus , Prosauropoda, andOrnithischia. Scree plot suggests variance is distributed across many axes. Figure 12. Biplot of PCA scores (black) and vectors (gray) for Tykowski and Rowe’s (2004) data matrix for Ceratosauria. PC 1 accounts for 38.4% of the variance and PC 2 accounts for 23.3% of the variance. Coelophysidae members are in bottom right.
