In hisse: Hidden State Speciation and Extinction

Ancestral State Estimation based on Marginal Reconstruction for the HiSSE model.

Description

Estimates the likeliest states for both internal nodes and tips of a phylogeny using the marginal reconstruction algorithm.

Usage

MarginReconHiSSE(phy, data, f, pars, hidden.states=1, 
condition.on.survival=TRUE, root.type="madfitz", root.p=NULL, includes.fossils = FALSE,
k.samples = NULL, AIC=NULL, get.tips.only=FALSE, verbose=TRUE, n.cores=NULL, dt.threads=1)

Arguments

phy	a phylogenetic tree, in ape “phylo” format and with internal nodes labeled denoting the ancestral selective regimes.
data	a matrix (or dataframe) with three columns. The first column containing the species names and the second and third containing the binary character information. Character "0" is on column 2 and chracter "1" is on column 3. A value of 0 means character absent and a value of 1 character present. The input of data follows a Pagel model. See 'Details'.
f	vector of length 2 with the estimated proportion of extant species in state 0 and 1 that are included in the phylogeny. A value of c(0.25, 0.5) means that 25 percent of species in state 0 and 50 percent of species in state 1 are included in the phylogeny. By default all species are assumed to be sampled.
pars	vector containing the MLE of the parameters.
hidden.states	a numeric indicating the number of shifts. The default is 1 meaning a standard BiSSE model.
condition.on.survival	a logical indicating whether the likelihood should be conditioned on the survival of two lineages and the speciation event subtending them (Nee et al. 1994). The default is TRUE.
root.type	indicates whether root prior assumption should based the procedure described by FitzJohn et al. 2009, “madfitz”, assumed equal, “equal”, or set to user, “user”.
root.p	a vector indicating fixed root state probabilities. The default is NULL.
includes.fossils	a logical indicating whether the tree contains fossil taxa. The default is FALSE.
k.samples	a table of extinct individuals with sampled descendants. See details for how the table must be formatted.
AIC	the AIC for the model being used for the reconstruction. This is used by the plotting function. The default is NULL.
get.tips.only	a logical indicating whether just tip reconstructions should be output. The default is FALSE.
verbose	a logical indicating whether progress should be printed to screen. The default is TRUE.
n.cores	specifies the number of independent processors to conduct the analysis.. The default is NULL.
dt.threads	sets the number of threads available to data.table. In practice this need not change from the default of 1 thread, as we have not seen any speedup from allowing more threads.

Details

This is the marginal reconstruction algorithm for the newer, faster version of HiSSE. In this implementation the marginal probability of state i for a focal node is simply the overall likelihood of the tree and data when the state of the focal node is fixed in state i. Note that the likeliest tip states can also be estimated: we observe state 1, but the underlying state could either be state 1A or 1B. Thus, for any given node or tip we traverse the entire tree as many times as there are states in the model. As the size of the tree grows, however, these repeated tree traversals can slow the calculation down considerably. For this reason, we allow the marginal calculation to be conducted in parallel across any number of independent computer processors.

See help for “hisse” for more on other parameters for this function.

Value

MarginReconHiSSE returns an object of class hisse.states. This is a list with elements:

$node.mat	the marginal probabilities calculated for each node. They are ordered based on the elements in the edge matrix in “phylo” format.
$tip.mat	the marginal probabilities calculated for each tip. They are ordered based on the order of tip labels in the tree.
$rate.mat	a matrix that details the rates for each state combination. This is used by the plotting function.
$phy	a phylogenetic tree in the “phylo” format that contains the states with the highest marginal probability at each internal node.
