Extended Data Table 2 Common Subspace Analysis

  1. A modified version of Krzanowski’s common subspace analysis18,48,49 was used to compare different covariance matrices along an arbitrary set of orthogonal phenotypic dimensions (or eigenvectors). Because the choice of reference matrix can bias estimates of slopes and correlation coefficients, all comparisons were repeated using different sets of eigenvectors. k refers to the number of dimensions considered for comparisons.
