(log(g)^2)/MY: it�s about the accumulation of variance with time, and variance
has units squared.
And please don�t apologize for the question. You only have it because we as a
field have been sloppy about not including units with our measurements in
papers (I�m guilty of this, too). So it�s great that you�re doing the right
thing and asking for help to do so.
Best,
Brian

Subject: [R-sig-phylo] units of sigsq
Dear all,
Please indulge me in a simple (newbie) question.
If I have a continuous trait (log(body size in g)) and a calibrated tree
and use fitContinuous to estimate sigsq using a BM model, what is the unit
of the siqsq estimate? log(g)/My?
Thanks for your patience,
Karla
