simulateTipData function

Tip trait simulation under a model of phenotypic evolution.

Tip trait simulation under a model of phenotypic evolution.

Simulates tip trait data under a specified model of phenotypic evolution, with three distinct behaviours specified with the 'method' argument.

simulateTipData(object, params, method, v)

Arguments

  • object: an object of class 'PhenotypicModel'.
  • params: vector of parameters, given in the same order as in the 'model' object.
  • method: an integer specifying the behaviour of the function. If method = 1 (default value), the tip distribution is first computed, before returning a simulated dataset drawn in this distribution. If method = 2, the whole trajectory is simulated step by step, plotted, and returned. Otherwise, the whole trajectory is simulated step by step, and then returned without being plotted.
  • v: boolean specifying the verbose mode. Default value : FALSE.

Returns

a vector of trait values at the tips of the tree.
