surfaceSummary: Summarize SURFACE Output

Description

Extracts the most important results from the output of the forward, backward, or both phases of a SURFACE analysis

Usage

surfaceSummary(fwd = NULL, bwd = NULL)

Arguments

fwd

A list returned by surfaceForward (which may be stored as the $fwd component of the list returned by runSurface)

bwd

A list returned by surfaceBackward (which may be stored as the $bwd component of the list returned by runSurface)

Value

n_steps: number of iterations in the stepwise analysis
lnls: matrix of traits-by-iterations, giving the log-likelihood for each trait at each iteration of the analysis
n_regimes_seq: matrix of the summaries of regime structure at each iteration of the model
aics: vector giving the AICc value at each step
shifts: shifts present in the final fitted Hansen model
n_regimes: summary of regime structure of the final fitted Hansen model (see note below)
alpha: estimate of alpha for each trait in the final model
sigma_squared: estimate of sigma_squared for each trait in the final model
theta: matrix of estimated optima (one per regime per trait) in the final model

Details

If both fwd and bwd are provided, both phases of the analysis will be summarized together
