Hi all,

I'm using the caper package to run some pgls regressions, with the goal of 
understanding if growth in aerobic conditions has any effect on growth in 
anaerobic conditions (Anaerobic ~ Aerobic). I've been able to do the pgls, but 
we are interested in looking for outliers that may be a sign of more of an 
effect in either direction.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to go about that?

I've tried looking for outliers using the method mentioned here: 
https://duke.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AnthroTree/pages/15926335/7.5.1+PGLS+in+R+caper
 (see code below)

modelo_res <- residuals(modelo_pgls_AnaexAer, phylo = TRUE)
modelo_res <- modelo_res/sqrt(var(modelo_res))[1]
rownames(modelo_res)<-rownames(modelo_pgls_AnaexAer$residuals)
rownames(modelo_res)[(abs(modelo_res)>3)]

But what it outputs doesn't necessarily make biological sense because those 
values are in the "cluster" of our growth rates, while other strains are much 
farther from the cluster. Maybe I'm misinterpreting?

Happy to share any information needed to get some help with this. Thank you!

Kind regards,
Jaime
