Helper.functions {PHYLOGR}R Documentation

Helper functions

Description

Several helper functions used by the PHYLOGR main functions (i.e., these functions are called from other functions). These are all one to three lines functions, which are used in lieu of calls to read.table, scan, etc. They are of no immediate use for the end user, but might be helpful for further programming.

Value

Depends on the helper function; here is a summary:

num.sim.tips number of tips and number of simulations of a simulated data set
number.of.simulations the number of simulations of a simulated data set
number.of.tips.inp number of tips in inp data file
number.of.tips.pdi ditto for pdi
number.of.tips.sim ditto for sim
scan.inp.file the two columns with data from inp file
scan.pdi.file ditto for pdi
scan.simulation.file ditto for sim file
tips.names.inp the names of tips from an inp file
tips.names.pdi ditto for pdi
