In MSCsimtester: Tests of Multispecies Coalescent Gene Tree Simulator Output
MSCsimtester R Documentation
Validity tests of simulators of the multspecies coalescent model in phylogenomics.
Description
The package performs comparisons of certain summary statistics for simulated gene tree samples to
theoretical predictions under the multispecies coalescent model.
The primary functions are rootedTriple for comparison of frequencies of topological rooted triples
on gene trees, and pairwiseDist and ADtest for comparison of the distributions of pairwise
distances between taxa on gene trees.
Details
Required input is a collection of gene trees, stored as a multiPhylo object by the ape package,
and a rooted species tree, as a Phylo object,
with edge lengths in generations, together with constant population sizes for each edge.
MSCsimtester builds on the packages ape and kSamples.
