Re: [R-sig-phylo] Phylogenetic regression available in R (Grafen, 1989)

Hi Emmanuel, thanks for information. I really think it might be possible to obtain very similar results with both packages (ape - phyreg) However, I`m not sure that the math is the same. "It uses branch lengths to account for recog- nised phylogeny (which makes the errors of more closely rela

Hi Gustavo, Grafen's method is partially implemented in ape. The function corGrafen defines a correlation structure according to Grafen's method (see ?corClasses for all corStruct defined in ape). When used with nlme::gls this makes possible to estimate the parameter of the branch length trans

Hello Xavier, Thanks for your answer. I also might be wrong, but as far as I know, Ape has the function - compute.brlen which can calculate branch lengths throght Grafen method but can not do phylogenetic regression sensu (Grafen, 1989). Grafen method uses a different approach to control phyloge

Hi Gustavo, Thanks for that notification, I may be wrong, but was'nt that method already implemented in the CAPER package by David Orme (function pgls, brunch, crunch)? If yes, then which new functionalities does phyreg bring? Regards, Xavier 2014-03-05 13:46 GMT+01:00 Gustavo Paterno : > Hello

Hello all, I just got the confirmation that the Grafen method for phylogenetic regression (Grafen, 1989) was implemented in R ! The package “phyreg” has lots of details in help. Best wishes for all. Gustavo Paterno ___ R-sig-phylo mailing list - R-sig-
