β¦ Synopsis
A test of uniformity on the shape space S k m is presented, together with modifications of the test statistic which bring its null distribution close to the large-sample asymptotic distribution. The asymptotic distribution under suitable local alternatives to uniformity is given. A family of distributions on S k m is proposed, which is suitable for modelling shapes given by landmarks which are almost collinear.

We develop some examples of degenerate \(U\)-statistic tests for uniformity in certain compact topological groups and homogeneous spaces, namely, the orthogonal group and the Grassmann manifold. These tests have the attractive properties that they involve simple matrix calculations and their asympto
