use_calibrations_bladj {datelife} | R Documentation |
Use calibrations to date a topology with the BLADJ algorithm.
Description
The function use_calibrations_bladj
prepares the input for BLADJ
and calls make_bladj_tree()
.
Usage
use_calibrations_bladj(phy = NULL, calibrations, type = "median", root_age)
Arguments

A |
calibrations |
A |
type |
The type of age to use as calibration. Options are "median", "mean", "min", or "max". |
root_age |
Numeric specifying the age of the root. Only used if there are
