I would like to apply the phylogenetic generalized least-squares
analysis implemented in NTSYS. I have tried with the three species
example from Rohlf (2001, Evolution,55:2143-2160), but I am unable to
reproduce the values for the intercept (0.6698; pag 2147) and the slope
(0.0617).

I would appreciate any suggestion.

=======================
Here you are the files I am using:
1) Tree file
#NEXUS

Begin trees;
Translate 1 sp1, 2 sp2, 3 sp3;
tree ((1:1,2:4):5,3:6);
End;

2) The y file
1 1 3 0
1.0 1.25 0.5

2) The x file
1  1 3 0
1.5 1.0 0.75


3) ...and the output
