Re: [R] ape comparative analysis query

2006-05-11 Thread Chris Knight
Thank you very much, that makes things a lot clearer. The issue with known roots and ancestors in my case is that these taxa are actually molecules evolved from one another in the lab (with control over the evolutionary process, though not the traits that emerge), so the data on the root and

[R] ape comparative analysis query

2006-05-10 Thread Chris Knight
I've been comparing variables among objects (taxa) related by known trees, using phylogentically independent contrasts in the ape package, and want to move on to more complex models e.g. by using gls with appropriate correlation terms. My trees contain lots of (hard) polytomies and information

[R] SSlogis problem with min(y)==0

2005-06-27 Thread Chris Knight
Hi, I think this is a problem solved but I would be interested to know if there is some good reason why SSlogis() behaves like this (apologies if this has been noticed before- I'm not confident my archive searches were effective): I have been fitting large numbers of regressions using nls with a

[R] odesolve: lsoda vs rk4

2004-06-10 Thread Chris Knight
I'm trying to use odesolve for integrating various series of coupled 1st order differential equations (derived from a system of enzymatic catalysis and copied below, apologies for the excessively long set of parameters). The thing that confuses me is that, whilst I can run the function rk4: out

[R] subscripts in lists

2003-08-14 Thread Chris Knight
I am tying myself in knots over subscripts when applied to lists I have a list along the lines of: lis-list(c(a,b,next,want1,c),c(d, next, want2, a)) From which I want to extract the values following next in each member of the list, i.e. something along the lines of answer-c( want1, want2).
