fairProportions {motmot}

Calculate fair proportions phylogenetic diversity metric

Description

Calculate fair proportions phylogenetic diversity metric Note that as.rateMatrix calls the CAIC function vcv.array multiple times and this can be slow for large phylogenies (though faster than using the "ape" equivalent vcv.phylo).

Usage

fairProportions(phy, nodeCount = FALSE)

Arguments

phy

An object of class phylo (see ape).

nodeCount

Logical - should root to tip node counts be returned (default is FALSE)

Value

Returns a matrix of fair proportion for all tips in phylogeny and node counts if selected.
