bounded_bm {phytools}

Fits bounded and wrapped Brownian motion models

Description

Fits a bounded Brownian motion model using the discrete approximation of Boucher & Demery (2016).

Usage

	bounded_bm(tree, x, lims=NULL, ...)

Arguments

tree

object of class "phylo".

x

continuous character data in a vector.

lims

bounds. If NULL will be set to three times the observed range of the trait. (This is designed to be an effectively "unbounded" null model.)

...

optional arguments.

Details

Optional arguments.

Value

An object of class "bounded_bm".
