PVR-class: Class '"PVR"'

In PVR: Phylogenetic Eigenvectors Regression and Phylogentic Signal-Representation Curve

Description

A S4 class that contains eigenvalues and eigenvectors from decomposition of a phylogenetic distance matrix and PVR r squared and residuals.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("PVR", ...).

Slots

Eigen:

Object of class "list" that contains the eigenvalues and eigenvectors generated by phylogenetic distance matrix eigendecomposition.

phyDist:

Object of class "matrix" that contains a phylogenetic distance matrix.

phylo:

Object of class "phylo" that contains a phylogeny.

Selection:

Object of class "list" that contains the selection method (along with its statistics) used to select the vectors, the selected vectors IDs and a matrix that contains the selected vectors.

PVR:

Object of class "list" that contains the Philogenetic EigenVectors Regression r squared and residuals.

VarPart:

Object of class "list" that contains the variation partition components.

Methods

show

signature(object = "PVR"): Always print the Eigen slot.
