params_BM
creates a coherent object params_process from user
provided values of the parameters. Non specified parameters are set to
default values.
Arguments
- p
the dimension (number of traits) of the parameters. Default to 1.
- variance
the variance (rate matrix) of the BM. Default to
diag(1, p, p)
.- random
whether the root of the BM is random (TRUE) or fixed (FALSE). Default to FALSE.
- value.root
if random=FALSE, the root value. Default to 0.
- exp.root
if random=TRUE, the root expectation. Default to 0.
- var.root
if random=TRUE, the root variance. Default to
diag(1, p, p)
.- edges
a vector of edges where the shifts occur. Default to NULL (no shift).
- values
a matrix of shift values, with p lines and as many columns as the number of shifts. Each column is the p values for one shift. Default to
matrix(0, p, length(edges))
.- relativeTimes
(unused) the relative position of the shift on the branch, between 0 (beginning of the branch) and 1 (end of the branch). Default to 0.
- nbr_of_shifts
the number of shifts to use (randomly drawn). Use only if
edges
is not specified. In that case, a phylogenetic tree must be provided (to allow a random sampling of its edges).- phylo
a phylogenetic tree of class
phylo
. Needed only if the shifts edges are not specified, or if sBM_variance=TRUE. Default to NULL. If sBM_variance=TRUE, it must have a specified value for the root branch length (slot root.edge).- sBM_variance
if the root is random, does it depend on the length of the root edge ? (For equivalent purposes with a rescaled OU). Default to FALSE. If TRUE, a phylogenetic tree with root edge length must be provided.
- trait_names
vector of trait names values. Must be of length p.
- ...
unused.
