[R-sig-phylo] comparative analysis using multiple regression of contrasts?

2011-05-25 Thread Julien Claude
Dear all, I have one factor and several covariates and I would like to know which of these explanatory variables are more likely to explain a response variable in a comparative analysis. The factor is a dummy variable (0-1). At first, my strategy would be to use contrasts of all variables

Hi Brian, They look the same for me. Maybe it's easier to see this using the default values of nodelabels(): plot(tree) nodelabels(tree$node.label) x11() plot(rooted) nodelabels(rooted$node.label) Best, Emmanuel Brian Bourke wrote on 23/05/2011 23:44: Hi Emmanuel I've done as you

[R-sig-phylo] PIC Branch Length Methods

2011-05-25 Thread Nicolas Campione
Hello Phylo List, I am currently trying to run independent contrasts with APE. As I don't have an actual measure for branch length I have tried both the Grafen and BR=1 methods available through 'compute.brlen'. I know from using mesquite that there are also methods for calculating branch
