offset.to.dummy {EvoPhylo} | R Documentation |
Convert trees produced by a BEAST2 FBD analysis with offset to trees with correct ages.
Description
This method adds a dummy tip at the present (t = 0) to fully extinct trees with offsets, in order to have correct ages (otherwise the most recent tip is assumed to be at 0). This is a workaround to get the proper ages of the trees into other tools such as TreeAnnotator.
Usage
offset.to.dummy(trees.file, log.file, output.file = NULL, dummy.name = "dummy")
Arguments
trees.file |
path to BEAST2 output file containing posterior trees |
log.file |
path to BEAST2 trace log file containing offset values |
output.file |
path to file to write converted trees. If |
dummy.name |
name of the added dummy tip, default |
Details
NB: Any metadata present on the tips will be discarded. If you want to keep metadata (such as clock rate values),
use offset.to.dummy.metadata
instead.
Value
list of converted trees (as treedata)

Examples
# Convert trees with offset to trees with dummy tip
trees_file <- system.file("extdata", "ex_offset.trees", package = "EvoPhylo")
log_file <- system.file("extdata", "ex_offset.log", package = "EvoPhylo")
converted_trees <- offset.to.dummy.metadata(trees_file, log_file)
# Do something with the converted trees - for instance, calculate the MCC summary tree
# Then remove the dummy tip from the MCC tree
final_tree <- drop.dummy.beast(system.file("extdata", "ex_offset.MCC.tre", package = "EvoPhylo"))
