macro_pred: Macroevolutionary predictions

Description

macro_pred Macroevolutionary predictions

Usage

macro_pred(y, V, useLFO = TRUE)

Arguments

y

vector of species means

V

phylogenetic variance matrix, must have same order as y

useLFO

excludes the focal species when calculating the corresponding species' mean. The correct way is to use TRUE, but in practice it has little effect and FALSE will speed up the model fit.

Value

macro_pred returns a of macroevolutionary predictions at the tips.

Details

macro_pred Gives a vector of macroevolutionary predictions for each species based on the other species given the phylogeny and a phylogenetic variance matrix.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Trait values
y <- rnorm(3)

# A variance matrix (the diagonal must be the same order as y).
V <- matrix(c(1.0, 0.5, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 0.4, 0.2, 0.4, 1.0), ncol = 3)

# Macroevolutionary predictions (output in the same order as y).
macro_pred(y, V)
# }
