name.check {geiger}R Documentation

Compares taxa in data and tree

Description

This function is a general tool for checking for concordance between a data file and a phylogenetic tree. For the data, names can be specified as the names of objects in the vector, rownames of the data array or as 'data.names'. The name.check function finds and lists all taxa present in data set but not in the tree, and vice-versa. The treedata function returns a list containing both the tree and the data after pruning out any species that are not found in both.

Usage

name.check(phy, data, data.names=NULL)

Arguments

phy an object of class "phylo"
data data for tips of the tree
data.names

{ names of the tips in the order of the data; if this is not given, names will be taken from the names or rownames of the object data}

Value

Tree.not.data Taxa in tree but not data
Data.not.tree Taxa in data but not tree
