From the reviews: "This book puts forward an extension of nonparametric combination methodology for the field of shape analysis. ... Novices are gently introduced into statistical shape analysis and geometric morphometrics, researchers are presented a new approach to the field and practitioners are demonstrated the usefulness of the technique on an application to facial expressions of emotions and another concerning aortic valve morphology." (Ruxandra Stoean, zbMATH, Vol. 1281, 2014)

• ​​ ​A brief overview on statistical shape analysis.- Theoretical aspects.- NPC test power behaviour with GPA superimposition and correlation.- Finite-sample consistency of combination-based tests in shape analysis.- Applications to real case studies.- Bibliography.- References.
