[R-sig-phylo] Applying standard error in phylogenetic signal measurement using lambda

2017-04-27 Thread Chen, Ting-Wen
Dear all, I’m measuring phylogenetic signal for a set of continuous traits using the function “phylosig”. I try to apply standard error of measurements in Pagel’s lambda, but the R gives this error message: 'Error in solve.default(V) : Lapack routine dgesv: system is exactly singular: U[1,1]

rection. (Aside from the points above, I am assuming that the 18 compounds do not add up to 100% of the sample. If they do, then you would only want to analyze 17 of them.) Sincerely, Ted Garland On Sun, Dec 11, 2016 at 2:06 PM, Chen, Ting-Wen < ting-wen.c...@biologie.uni-goettingen.de> wrote:

[R-sig-phylo] error when using function read.GenBank in ape

2016-11-10 Thread Chen, Ting-Wen
Dear all, recently I got an error when downloading sequences in R using MacOS 10.12 (but no problem when using WIndows 7). I was using the function read.GenBank in package ape and pretty sure my laptop was connecting to the internet. Following is how the error looks like: R version 3.3.2

[R-sig-phylo] phylogenetic signal test for discrete trait

2016-11-03 Thread Chen, Ting-Wen
Dear all, I would like to test for phylogenetic signal in a discrete trait with 3 states (trait “str”) and another discrete trait with 7 states (trait “hab") using Pagel’s lambda. I have tried to apply the function “fitDiscrete” in geiger to my data, but not sure whether this is correct or

[R-sig-phylo] When we say a trait is phylogenetically labile

2016-07-11 Thread Chen, Ting-Wen
Dear experts, I am new in the comparative phylogenetic methods. By reading papers, when there is a term saying a trait is "phylogenetically labile”, does it mean that the trait is phylogenetically “convergent", with similar values for species from distantly related clades, or does it mean
