vars

Whether to return the variances of the restricted maximum likelihood estimates

CI

Whether to return 95% confidence intervals of the restricted maximum likelihood estimates

Value

A named vector of maximum likelihood ancestral states (with names corresponding to node names if available or node numbers from the tree rearranged in postorder, as obtained by the command reorder(tree,"postorder")). If vars or CI is set to TRUE, a list is returned with these values included.

Estimation of phylogenetic and phenotypic covariance parameters

Description

This function estimates parameters for the phylogenetic and phenotypic variance-covariance matrices for datasets with missing observations and multiple within-species observations. This function can also be used to fit altnerative evolutionary models, including Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, Early-Burst, star phylogeny, or Pagel's lambda, kappa, or delta. Reconstructed ancestral states and predicted species means (i.e., for missing data), along with prediction variances, are also provided.

Usage

phylopars(trait_data, tree, model = "BM", pheno_error, phylo_correlated = TRUE,
pheno_correlated = TRUE, REML = TRUE, full_alpha = TRUE, phylocov_start,
phenocov_start, model_par_start, phylocov_fixed, phenocov_fixed, model_par_fixed,
skip_optim = FALSE, skip_EM = FALSE, EM_Fels_limit = 1000, repeat_optim_limit = 1,
EM_missing_limit = 50, repeat_optim_tol = 0.01, model_par_evals = 10, max_delta = 10000,
EM_verbose = FALSE, optim_verbose = FALSE, npd = FALSE,
nested_optim = FALSE, usezscores = TRUE, phenocov_list = list(), ret_args = FALSE,
ret_level = 1, get_cov_CIs = FALSE)

Arguments

trait_data

A data frame with the first column labeled "species" (with species names matching tips on the phylogeny) and one column per trait. Each row corresponds to a single observation, and multiple observations for species are allowed. Missing data should be represented with NA.

tree

An object of class phylo

model

Model of evolution. Default is "BM". Alternative evolutionary models include "mvOU" (for the multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck), or univariate tree transformations: "OU" "lambda", "kappa", "delta", "EB", "star".

pheno_error

If TRUE (default, unless <=1 observation per species is provided), parameters are estimated assuming within-species variation.

phylo_correlated

If TRUE (default), parameters are estimated assuming traits are correlated.

pheno_correlated

If TRUE (default), parameters are estimated assuming within-species observations traits are correlated.

REML

If TRUE (default), the algorithm will return REML estimates. If FALSE, maximum likelihood estimates will be returned.

full_alpha

Only applicable for the multivariate OU (model="mvOU"). If TRUE (default), a fully parametrized alpha matrix is fit. If FALSE, a diagonal alpha matrix is fit.

phylocov_start

Optional starting value for phylogenetic trait variance-covariance matrix. Must be of dimension n_traits by n_traits.

phenocov_start

Optional starting value for phenotypic trait variance-covariance matrix. Must be of dimension n_traits by n_traits.

model_par_start

Optional starting parameters for the evolutionary model. For model="mvOU", must be of dimension n_traits by n_traits. Otherwise, must be a single value.

phylocov_fixed

Optional fixed value for phylogenetic trait variance-covariance matrix. Must be of dimension n_traits by n_traits.

phenocov_fixed

Optional starting value for phenotypic trait variance-covariance matrix. Must be of dimension n_traits by n_traits.

skip_EM

Whether to skip Expectation-Maximiation prior to generating starting parameters for BFGS optimization (not recommended unless providing fixed parameters).

EM_Fels_limit

Whether to skip Expectation-Maximiation prior to generating starting parameters for BFGS optimization (not recommended unless providing fixed parameters).

repeat_optim_limit

The number of times to repeat numerical optimization (default is 1).

EM_missing_limit

Maximum number of iterations for EM.

repeat_optim_tol

Maximum tolerance for repeated numerical optimization (only relevant if repeat_optim_limit>1).

model_par_evals

Number of times to evaluate univariate tree transformation models along the range of possible parameter values. Used to generate informed starting values for alternative evolutionary models if nested_optim=TRUE.

max_delta

Maximum allowed difference between the log-likelihood for EM-generated starting parameters and new parameters tried under numerical optimization. Extremely large deltas are likely to be numerical artifiacts. Prevents artificial convergence.

EM_verbose

Whether to print the log-likelihood during Expectation-Maximization.

optim_verbose

Whether to print log-likelihooods during numerical optimization.

npd

Whether to find the nearest positive-definite matrix for all covariance matrices during numerical optimization (slow – only set to TRUE if converging to singular matrices).

nested_optim

Only relevant if fitting a univariate alternative evolutionary model. Tries multiple tree transformation parameter values along the range of possible values to make informed starting parameters. Slower than the default (nested_optim=FALSE), in which all parameters are estimated simultaneously.

usezscores

Whether or not ot use centered and standardized data during numerical optimization (recommended).

phenocov_list

An optional named list of species-specific within-species covariance matrices to be held fixed, as in Ives et al (2007). This option forces pheno_error and pheno_correlated to be FALSE, and uses mean species values instead of raw data. Raw variance should be divided by the number of observations per species (i.e., squared standard errors). See Ives et al (2007) for more details.

ret_args

For internal use only.

ret_level

For internal use only.

get_cov_CIs

For models with phenotypic (within-species) covariance, the estimated percentage of variance explained by the phylogeny is provided as 100*(1 - phenotypic_variance/raw_variance), where raw_variance is the variance of all observations for a given trait across species (var(PPE$trait_data[,2:ncol(PPE$trait_data)],na.rm=TRUE)).

logLik

The log-likelihood of the model

pars

A list composed of phylogenetic trait covariance and phenotypic (within-species) trait covariance, if estimated

model

The model of evolution (e.g., BM, OU, lambda, etc.), and any additional evolutionary model parameters estimated. For OU models, stationary covariance is calculated from both phylogenetic covariance (Sigma) and alpha (see Supplement 1 of Clavel et al. 2015).

mu

The estimate ancestral state at the root of the tree.

npars

The total number of parameters estimated by optimization (used for AIC and BIC).

anc_recon

Reconstructed ancestral states and species means. Row names correspond to species names (for the first 1:nspecies rows), and the remaining row names correspond to node numbers on a tree with edges in postorder: reorder(tree,"postorder"). Or, if node labels were included on the original tree, row names correspond to node labels.

anc_var

Variance of reconstructed ancestral estimates and imputed species means.

anc_cov

Covariance of estimates among variables.

tree

The phylogenetic tree supplied to phylopars

trait_data

The trait data supplied to phylopars

REML

TRUE if REML, FALSE if ML.
