No, they are the same. The difference between GLS and OLS is only in the specified (assumed) variance-covariance matrix of the residuals. Cheers Ted P.S. "PGLS" can be viewed as costing 1 df if you estimate a branch length transformation parameter. On Fri, Jun 11, 2021, 9:54 PM Russell Engelman

[R-sig-phylo] Degrees of Freedom in PGLS

2021-06-11 Thread Russell Engelman
Dear R-Sig-Phylo Group, I had a question regarding the calculation of regression statistics using PGLS. When I obtain the degrees of freedom from a PGLS object using ape in R, I notice that it returns the same number of degrees of freedom as under OLS, and the AIC of a bivariate function is
