Figure 3

Variations in the shape of the IO5 bone in adults accounted for by the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd principal components. IO5 condensation ablation (red plus sign), control-side (purple triangle) and control (green circle) specimens. (A) The contour variance of each principal component is shown; broken line represents the average -2 SD from the mean, thin solid line represents the mean and the thick solid line, indicates +2 SD from the mean where SD stands for standard deviation. (B) Scatterplot of PC1 versus PC2 for the IO5 condensation ablation experiment. 95% confidence interval ellipses are also shown with the same treatment group colours.
