Homoplasy length of each character in a dataset on a specified tree.

Usage

CharacterLength(tree, dataset, compress = FALSE)

FitchSteps(tree, dataset)

FastCharacterLength(tree, dataset)

Arguments

tree

A tree of class phylo.

dataset

A phylogenetic data matrix of phangorn class phyDat, whose names correspond to the labels of any accompanying tree.

compress

Logical specifying whether to retain the compression of a phyDat object or to return a vector specifying to each individual character, decompressed using the dataset's index attribute.

Value

CharacterLength() returns a vector listing the contribution of each character to tree score, according to the algorithm of Brazeau et al. (2019) .

Functions

  • FastCharacterLength(): Do not perform checks. Use with care: may cause erroneous results or software crash if variables are in the incorrect format.
