match_to_tree {abdiv}

Match vector of counts to phylogenetic tree

Description

Match vector of counts to phylogenetic tree

Usage

match_to_tree(x, tree, x_labels = NULL)

Arguments

x

A vector of species counts.

tree

A phylogenetic tree of class "phylo".

x_labels

A vector of species labels for x.

Details

This function applies a couple of different methods to arrange the data in x to match a phylogenetic tree.

• If x_labels is provided, we use this vector to match the elements of x with the tip labels in the tree.

• If x_labels is not provided and x is a named vector, we use the names to match the tip labels in the tree.

• If x_labels is not provided and x is not named, we assume that x is already in the correct order, check that the length of x matches the number of tips in the tree, and return x.

Value

The vector x, re-arranged to match the tree.
