estDiversity: Estimate diversity at each node of the tree
Description
This function estimates the lineage density at each node in the tree based on a biogeographic model (based on Mahler et al. 2010; Evolution).
Usage
estDiversity(tree, x)
Arguments
tree
is a phylogenetic tree in "phylo" format.
x
a vector containing the biogeographic area for each of the tip taxa.
Value
a vector containing the estimated lineage density at each node
Details
Very slow. This function (presently) relies on many calls to ace.
