dcAncestralMP: Function to reconstruct ancestral discrete states using...

Description Usage Arguments Value Note See Also Examples

Description

dcAncestralMP is supposed to reconstruct ancestral discrete states using a maximum parsimony-modified Fitch algorithm. In a from-tip-to-root manner, ancestral state for an internal node is determined if a state is shared in a majority by all its children. If two or more states in a majority are equally shared, this internal node is temporarily marked as an unknown tie, which is further resolved in a from-root-to-tip manner: always being the same state as its direct parent holds. If the ties also occur at the root, the state at the root is set to the last state in ties (for example, usually being 'present' for 'present'-'absent' two states).

dcAncestralMP(data, phy, output.detail = F, parallel = T,
multicores = NULL, verbose = T)

Arguments

data

an input data matrix/frame storing discrete states for tips (in rows) X characters (in columns). The rows in the matrix are for tips. If the row names do not exist, then addumedly they have the same order as in the tree tips. More wisely, users provide row names which can be matched to the tip labels of the tree. The row names can be more than found in the tree labels, and they should contain all those in the tree labels

phy

an object of class 'phylo'

output.detail

logical to indicate whether the output is returned as a detailed list. If TRUE, a nested list is returned: a list of characters (corresponding to columns of input data matrix), in which each element is a list consisting of three components ("states", "transition" and "relative"). If FALSE, a matrix is returned: the columns respond to the input data columns, and rows responding to all node index in the phylo-formatted tree

parallel

logical to indicate whether parallel computation with multicores is used. By default, it sets to true, but not necessarily does so. Partly because parallel backends available will be system-specific (now only Linux or Mac OS). Also, it will depend on whether these two packages "foreach" and "doMC" have been installed. It can be installed via: source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R"); biocLite(c("foreach","doMC")). If not yet installed, this option will be disabled

multicores

an integer to specify how many cores will be registered as the multicore parallel backend to the 'foreach' package. If NULL, it will use a half of cores available in a user's computer. This option only works when parallel computation is enabled

verbose

logical to indicate whether the messages will be displayed in the screen. By default, it sets to TRUE for display

Value

It depends on the 'output.detail'. If FALSE (by default), a matrix is returned, with the columns responding to the input data columns, and rows responding to node index in the phylo-formatted tree. If TRUE, a nested list is returned. Outer-most list is for characters (corresponding to columns of input data matrix), in which each elemenl is a list (inner-most) consisting of three components ("states", "transition" and "relative"):

Note

This maximum parsimony algorithm for ancestral discrete state reconstruction is attributable to the basic idea as described in http://sysbio.oxfordjournals.org/content/20/4/406.short
