Hi,
The first mode of variation is the mode that explains the most variance within the model. It does not have to be absolute size, it depends on the dataset. In datasets where there are variations in total size/volume, we very often find that variation as the largest component of the first mode of variation.
Thanks, Alan

Barnet, Isabel <ibarnet@hms.harvard.edu> Hi all!
As a quick addendum to this question, does p0 have a special significance (ie does it always represent the absolute size/volume of a shape in a model), or does it merely represent the mode explaining the most variance?
Thanks! Isabel
