shape.statistic {apTreeshape} | R Documentation |
shape.statistic
computes the logarithm of the ratio of the likelihoods under the Yule model and the PDA model of the given tree.
shape.statistic(tree, norm=NULL)
tree |
An object of class "treeshape" . |
norm |
A character string equals to NULL for no normalization, "yule" for the Yule model normalization or "pda" for the pda normalization. |
The log of the likelihood ratio is proportional to
sum(log(N(v)-1)),
for all internal node v (where N(v) is the number of internal nodes descending from the node v ). The ratio of the likelihoods enables to build the most powerful test of the Yule model against the PDA one. (Neyman-Pearson lemma).
Under the PDA model, the log ratio has approximate Gaussian distribution of mean ~ 2.03*n-3.545*sqrt(n-1) and variance ~ 2.45*(n-1)*log(n-1), where n is the number of tips of the tree. The Gaussian approximation is accurate for very large n (n greater than 10000(?)). The normalization of the ratio uses tabulated empirical values of variances estimated from Monte Carlo simulations. The normalization uses the formula:
variance ~ 1.570*n*log(n)-5.674*n+3.602*sqrt(n)+14.915
Under the Yule model, the log ratio has approximate Gaussian distribution of mean = 1.204*n-log(n-1)-2 and variance = 0.168*n-0.710, where n is the number of tips of the tree. The Gaussian approximation is accurate for n greater than 20.
