available, that accounts for within-species variation.
Though maybe it’s not appropriate for your data, as Liam was saying.
I like it, but I
Thanks for the input. I'll look into those publications and the Rphylopars
package.
Actually, all of my data already has uncertainty. I've been getting mean
values from published studies and then weighting these by the inverse
variance (as is common in meta-analyses). So I have both uncertainty
Hi Philip.
Do not create very short tips. This will actually lead to very high
weight being given to any difference between these two observations!
Take the average of the different observations. Using the methods of
Felsenstein (2008) or Ives & Garland (2007) it is also possible to take
