Calculation of Evolvability Parameters

Description

This package calculates evolvability parameters from estimated G-matrices as defined in Hansen and Houle (2008) <doi:10.1111/j.1420-9101.2008.01573.x>. It can use both point estimates and posterior/bootstrap distributions of the G-matrices. This package was released with Bolstad et al. (2014) <doi:10.1098/rstb.2013.0255>, which contains some examples of use.
