pgls.Ives: Phylogenetic regression with intraspecific sampling error

Description

This function fits the phylogenetic regression model with within-species sampling error following Ives et al. (2007).

Usage

pgls.Ives(tree,X,y,Vx,Vy,Cxy)

Arguments

tree
a phylogenetic tree in "phylo" format.
X
a named vector containing a single independent variable (multiple independent variables to be added).
y
vector the dependent variable.
Vx
sampling variances for X.
Vy
sampling variances for y.
Cxy
sampling covariances between X and y.

Value

  • a list with the following components:
  • betaa vector or matrix of regression coefficients.
  • sig2xfitted BM rate for X.
  • sig2yfitted BM rate for y.
  • afitted ancestral states for X and y.
  • logLlog-likelihood.

Details

Presently only the bivariate regression model is implemented. Uses optim(...,method="L-BFGS-B").
