threshDIC

tree

a named vector containing discrete character states; or a matrix containing the tip species, in rows, and probabilities of being in each state, in columns.

list object returned by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/ancThresh?package=phytools&version=0.7-90" data-mini-rdoc="phytools::ancThresh">ancThresh</a></code>.

mcmc

number of generations (not samples) to exclude as burn in; if not supplied then 20 percent of generations are excluded.

burnin

assumed ordering of the discrete character state. If not supplied and <code>x</code> is a vector then numerical-alphabetical order is assumed; if not supplied and <code>x</code> is a matrix, then the column order of <code>x</code> is used.

sequence

method for computing the effective number of parameters (options are <code>"pD"</code> and <code>"pV"</code>).

method

This function computes the Deviance Information Criterion from the MCMC object returned by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/ancThresh?package=phytools&version=0.7-90" data-mini-rdoc="phytools::ancThresh">ancThresh</a></code>.

Bayesian

A wide range of functions for phylogenetic analysis. Functionality is concentrated in phylogenetic comparative biology, but also includes numerous methods for visualizing, manipulating, reading or writing, and even inferring phylogenetic trees. Included among the functions in phylogenetic comparative biology are various for ancestral state reconstruction, model-fitting, simulation of phylogenies and data, and multivariate analysis. There are a broad range of plotting methods for phylogenies and comparative data which include, but are not restricted to, methods for mapping trait evolution on trees, for projecting trees into phenotypic space or a geographic map, and for visualizing correlated speciation between trees. Finally, there are numerous functions for reading, writing, analyzing, inferring, simulating, and manipulating phylogenetic trees and comparative data not covered by other packages. For instance, there are functions for randomly or non-randomly attaching species or clades to a phylogeny, for computing consensus phylogenies from a set, for simulating trees and phylogenetic data under a range of models, and for a wide variety of other manipulations and analyses that phylogenetic biologists might find useful in their research.
