Doran et al. ◀ Dinosaur baraminology ▶ 2018 ICC 443 Figure 92. PCA scores for Han et al.’s (2017) data matrix for Ceratopsia. PC 1 accounts for 29.9% of the variance and PC 3 accounts for 17.0% of the variance. PC 3 separates Neoceratopsia from “basal” Ceratopsia (right). Figure 93. BDC results for Dodson et al.’s (2004) data matrix of Ceratopsidae, as calculated by BDISTMDS (relevance cutoff 0.75). Closed squares indicate significant, positive BDC; open circles indicate significant, negative BDC. Figure 94. Three-dimensional classical MDS applied to Dodson et al.’s (2004) data matrix for Ceratopsidae. Members of Ceratopsidae are shown in light red, Zuniceratops and Protoceratops are shown in gray, the outgroup is dark red. The outgroup is clustered near Protoceratops and Zuniceratops . Scree plot suggests the first two axes represent most of the variation. Figure 95. Biplot of PCA scores (black) and vectors (gray) for Dodson et al.’s (2004) data matrix. PC 1 accounts for 45.5% of the variance and PC 2 accounts for 38.1% of the variance. Members of Ceratopsidae are shown to the left. The outgroup, Zuniceratops , and Protoceratops show clear separation (far right).
