Doran et al. ◀ Dinosaur baraminology ▶ 2018 ICC 422 Figure 29. PCA scores for Chinzorig et al.’s (2018) data matrix for Ornithomimosauria. PC 1 accounts for 24.8% of the variance and PC 3 accounts for 11.7% of the variance. PC 3 suggests overlap between ornithomimosaurs and maniraptorans. Figure 30 . BDC results for Clark’s (2004) data matrix of Therizinosauroidea, as calculated by BDISTMDS (relevance cutoff 0.75). Closed squares indicate significant, positive BDC; open circles indicate significant, negative BDC. Figure 31 . Three-dimensional classical MDS applied to Clark’s (2004) data matrix for Therizinosauroidea. Therizinosauridae members are gray ( Therizinosaurus , Segnosaurus , Neimongosaurus , Erlikosaurus ), non- therizinosaurid Therizinosauroidea and Nothronychus in orange, non- therizinosauroid maniraptoriforms are light red, and outgroup red. Scree plot shows the first axis represents a majority of the variance. Figure 32. Biplot of PCA scores (black) and vectors (gray) for Clark’s (2004) data matrix for Therizinosauroidea. PC 1 accounts for 57.8% of the variance and PC 2 accounts for 17.8% of the variance. Two members of Therizinosauroidea ( Beipiaosaurus and Alxasaurus , top) are separated along PC 2 from two Therizinosauridae ( Erlikosaurus and Segnosaurus , toward right).
