If this is part of a specific proprietary script or a niche academic package (such as those used in paleoanthropology or cardiology), it likely serves as the in a shape-space model.
: In statistics, these are used in Gram-Charlier series to describe probability density functions that "deviate" from a normal distribution. 2. Deconstructing the Variable Syntax Shapes.Hermi.2.var
The variance of the 2nd-degree Hermite descriptor for a set of landmarks. If this is part of a specific proprietary
: This specifies the Method or Basis . It suggests the shape is being approximated using a Hermite-based expansion rather than standard linear or Fourier descriptors. 2 : This likely denotes the Degree or Dimension . It could represent the second-order Hermite polynomial ( H2cap H sub 2 Deconstructing the Variable Syntax The variance of the
The variance associated with the second Hermite polynomial in a density estimation.
