multiC

an object of class <code>"simmap"</code> consisting of a phylogeny with a mapped discrete character.

tree

logical value indicating whether or not internal nodes should be returned.

internal

This function takes a modified <code>"phylo"</code> object as input and returns a set of so-called phylogenetic covariance matrices (e.g., see <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/vcv.phylo?package=phytools&version=0.7-90" data-mini-rdoc="phytools::vcv.phylo">vcv.phylo</a></code>) as a list: one for each mapped state.

utilities

phylogenetics

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.

multiC function

This function takes a modified <code>"phylo"</code> object as input and returns a set of so-called phylogenetic covariance matrices (e.g., see <code><a rd-options='' href='vcv.phylo'>vcv.phylo</a></code>) as a list: one for each mapped state.
