In BAMMtools: Analysis and Visualization of Macroevolutionary Dynamics on Phylogenetic Trees

Ratio of (marginal) posterior-to-prior probabilities on individual branches

Description

Compute marginal posterior-to-prior odds ratio associated with observing one or more rate shift on a given branch.

Usage

marginalOddsRatioBranches(ephy, expectedNumberOfShifts)

Arguments

ephy	An object of class bammdata.
expectedNumberOfShifts	Expected number of shifts under the prior alone.

Details

This function returns a copy of a phylogenetic tree where each branch length is equal to the marginal odds ratio in favor of a rate shift on a particular branch. These cannot be interpreted as evidence for a rate shift in an absolute sense. As explained on the website, they are a marginal odds ratio. This function is provided primarily for the purpose of distinguishing core and non-core shifts.

Value

A object of class phylo but where each branch length is equal to the marginal shift odds on each branch.
