Re: [R-sig-phylo] phylogenetic signal with sample sizes but no standard errors

There is also an implementation of this method in two functions in ape, see: ?pic.ortho ?varCompPhylip There are examples with simulated data in both help pages. The second function requires PHYLIP (similarly to Rphylip) . Best, Emmanuel Le 04/08/2017 à 14:36, Joe Felsenstein a écrit :

There is also my C program Contrast, which implements a method from a 2008 paper I wrote: Felsenstein, J. 2008. Comparative methods with sampling error and within-species variation: contrasts revisited and revised. American Naturalist 171: 713-725. This estimates the within-species covariances

The original paper is here, with Matlab code. Others can tell you where this is in R. Ives, A. R., P. E. Midford, and T. Garland, Jr. 2007. Within-species variation and measurement error in phylogenetic comparative methods. Systematic Biology 56:252–270. Cheers, Ted On Wed, Aug 2, 2017 at 7:50
