corMartins: Martins's (1997) Correlation Structure

Description

Martins and Hansen's (1997) covariance structure: $$V_{ij} = \gamma \times e^{-\alpha t_{ij}}$$ where $t_{ij}$ is the phylogenetic distance between taxa $i$ and $j$ and $\gamma$ is a constant.

Usage

corMartins(value, phy, form = ~1, fixed = FALSE)
## S3 method for class 'corMartins':
coef(object, unconstrained = TRUE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'corMartins':
corMatrix(object,
		covariate = getCovariate(object), corr = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

Value

An object of class corMartins or the alpha coefficient from an object of this class or the correlation matrix of an initialized object of this class.
