write.phylopars {Rphylopars}

Write data and tree files for Python phylopars compatability.

Description

Writes data and tree files for Python phylopars compatibility.

Usage

write.phylopars(trait_data, tree, data_file, tree_file, species_identifier = "species")

Arguments

trait_data

A data frame with one column per trait, as well as a column labeled "species" (with species names matching tips on the phylogeny). Each row corresponds to a single observation, and multiple observation for species are allowed. Missing data should be represented with NA.

tree

An object of class phylo

data_file

Desired path to write data file.

tree_file

Desired path to write tree file.

species_identifier
