Dear list: I am using phylo.d in caper package and the Estimated D is lower than 0 (D=-0.71), suggesting a phylogenetic signal greater than Brownian expectation. However, the Probability of E(D) resulting from Brownian phylogenetic structure is p=0.98. Should I interpret this p-value as non-significant? or should I interpret it as a significant p=1-0.98=0.02? I am asking this question because I have never been able to detect a significant phylosignal higher than BM even with simulated data.
Estimated D : -0.7107697 Probability of E(D) resulting from no (random) phylogenetic structure : 0 Probability of E(D) resulting from Brownian phylogenetic structure : 0.98 Thanks Miguel Verdu -- ******************************************************************** Centro de Investigaciones sobre Desertificacion (CSIC-UV-GV) Carretera Moncada - Náquera, Km. 4,5 Apartado Oficial 46113 Moncada (Valencia) Spain Tel +34 96 3424204 Fax +34 96 3424160 www.uv.es/verducam _______________________________________________ R-sig-phylo mailing list - R-sig-phylo@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-phylo Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/r-sig-phylo@r-project.org/
