define_tipranges_object: Define a tipranges class and object

In BioGeoBEARS: BioGeography with Bayesian (and Likelihood) Evolutionary Analysis in R Scripts

Description

Class tipranges is an extension of the data.frame class. It is used for holding discrete geographic range data for the tips on a phylogeny. Geographic ranges are represented with bit encoding (0/1) indicating absence or presence in each possible area.

Usage

  define_tipranges_object(tmpdf = NULL)

Arguments

tmpdf

The user may input a data.frame holding the range data, if they like. Default is NULL, which means the function will produce a temporary data.frame as an example.

Details

This is just a data.frame with: rows = taxanames
columns = area names
cells = 0/1 representing empty/occupied

Value

tipranges_object The tipranges object, of class tipranges

Note

Go BEARS!
