variance.phylog {ade4}R Documentation

The phylogenetic ANOVA

Description

This function performs the variance analysis of a trait on eigenvectors associated to a phylogenetic tree.

Usage

variance.phylog(phylog, z, bynames = TRUE,
 na.action = c("fail", "mean"))

Arguments

phylog

: an object of class phylog

z

: a numeric vector of the values corresponding to the variable

bynames

: if TRUE checks if z labels are the same as phylog leaves label, possibly in a different order. If FALSE the check is not made and z labels must be in the same order than phylog leaves label

na.action

: if 'fail' stops the execution of the current expression when z contains any missing value. If 'mean' replaces any missing values by mean(z)

Details

phylog$Amat defines a set of orthonormal vectors associated the each nodes of the phylogenetic tree.
phylog$Adim defines the dimension of the subspace A defined by the first phylog$Adim vectors of phylog$Amat that corresponds to phylogenetic inertia.
variance.phylog performs the linear regression of z on A.

Value

Returns a list containing

lm

: an object of class lm that corresponds to the linear regression of z on A.

anova

: an object of class anova that corresponds to the anova of the precedent model.

smry

: an object of class anova that is a summary of the precedent object.
