Dear Chris.
Does it make sense to treat {02} as an intermediate condition between
{0} and {2}? If so, perhaps you'd like to try fitpolyMk in phytools,
which can also easily combine with ancestral state estimation (e.g.,
with phytools::make.simmap). Here is an example:
Hello,
Is there a method for ancestral state reconstruction when the character can
take on multiple values, and those values vary in complexity?
For example, some species are white (0), some gray (1), some black (2), but
then some are black and white (02).
Two solutions I can think of are (1)
