hansen.fit {ouch} | R Documentation |
These functions relate to the Hansen model for phylogenetic evolution.
hansen.fit(data, topology, times, regimes, guess = 0, interval = c(0.001, 20), tol = 1e-12) hansen.dev(n = 1, topology, times, regimes, alpha, sigma, theta)
data |
Phenotypic data for extant species, i.e., at the terminal ends of the phylogenetic tree. |
topology |
Specification of the topology of the phylogenetic tree. This is in the form of a vector of nonnegative integers, one for each node in the tree. The i-th number is that of the ancestor of the i-th node. The root node is distinguished by the number zero (0). |
times |
A vector of nonnegative numbers, one per node in the tree, specifying the time at which each node is located. The root node should be assigned time 0. |
regimes |
A vector of codes, one for each node in the tree, specifying the selective regimes hypothesized to have been operative. Corresponding to each node, enter the code of the regime hypothesized for the branch segment terminating in that node. For the root node, because it has no branch segment terminating on it, the regime specification is irrelevant. |
guess |
(Optional). An initial guess for the selection strength parameter alpha. This is used to initialize the optimization algorithm. |
interval |
The interval which will be searched for the optimal alpha. By default, 0.001 < alpha < 20. |
tol |
Convergence tolerance. |
n |
Number of pseudorandom data sets to generate. |
alpha |
Value of alpha to use. |
sigma |
Value of sigma to use. |
theta |
Value of theta to use. |
hansen.fit returns a list containing the following elements:
alpha |
Maximum likelihood estimate of alpha. Note that if
alpha lies against one of the constraints (see interval
above), then this is not a maximum-likelihood estimate. |
sigma |
Maximum likelihood estimate of sigma. |
theta |
Maximum likelihood estimate of theta. |
u |
-2 log likelihood. |
aic |
Akaike information criterion. |
sic |
Schwartz information criterion (=BIC) |
df |
Number of parameters estimated (= 3 + number of regimes). |
hansen.dev returns a data frame containing simulated data sets. Each
realization is a row.
