[R-sig-phylo] R: Re: From ClustalW2 Tree to Heat Map in R

2013-01-24 Thread pasquale.r...@libero.it
Hi Gents and Lads, I have a very rapid question with a perhaps not-so-obvious reply. I'm in the process of testing a number of evolutionary models and estimating phylogenetic signal on a certain univariate data set. So something very basic and very simple. The point is, I found BM performs

[R-sig-phylo] mccr test for non ultrametric trees

2012-05-30 Thread pasquale.r...@libero.it
Hi all, I would enquire the list about a simple issue. Is there any method implemented to test for changes in diversification rate as applied to fossil (non- ultrametric) trees?. As far as I understand, the methods so far available work on ultrametric trees (I've inspected laser's

[R-sig-phylo] R: ancestral state reconstruction for tips

Hi Morgan, this is just stuff for thought, and remember, this is wrong anyway. But you may try something like this: 1. compute pics, 2. take the pic value at the ancestral node subtending to your unknown tip, 3. pretend one of the two tips the pic was originally computed on is in fact your

Hi All, I'm happy I have stimulated some discussion about this subject matter. For some reason I can't imagine it looks this whole thing is going to be somehow personal and I have not posted this last e-mail to the list as a consequence. Joe, unfotunately I never attended a lecture of yours,

Hi all, I tried the function written by Liam, it works pretty well! As an indication for users, do not use an ultrametric tree, you'd get an error like this: Error in chol.default(x, pivot = FALSE) : the leading minor of order 140 is not positive definite Error in pd.solve(varcov) : x
