path, the executable file for threshml (e.g., threshml.exe in Windows) should be placed in the folder containing all other executable files for PHYLIP (e.g., C:/Program Files/phylip=3.695/exe in Windows).Obviously, use of any of the functions of this package requires that PHYLIP (Felsenstein 2013) should first be installed. More information about installing PHYLIP can be found on the PHYLIP webpage: http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip.html.
Rthreshml(tree, X, types=NULL, path=NULL, ...)"phylo".0, 1, "A","B", etc.)."discrete", "continuous"). If types are not supplied, Rthreshml will try to figure out which columns via is.numeric.path = NULL, the R will search several commonly used directories for the correct executable file.quiet suppress some output to R console (defaults to quiet = FALSE); burnin burnin generations for the MCMC; nchain number of chains of the MCMC; ngen number of generations in each chain; proposal variance on the proposal distribution for the MCMC; lrtest logical value indicating whether to conduct a likelihood-ratio test of the hypothesis that some correlations are zero (does not appear to work in the present version); and cleanup remove PHYLIP input/output files after the analysis is completed (defaults to cleanup = TRUE).
