Main functions

The phyr package has three groups of functions:

1. community phylogenetic diversity metrics (alpha: psv, psr, pse, etc. and beta: pcd), which were included in the picante package originally. They were updated with c++ to improve speed.
2. models to estimate correlation between functional traits while accounting for phylogenetic relationships (cor_phylo), which was included in the ape package originally. It has new syntax, much improved performance (c++), and bootstrapping option.
3. phylogenetic generalized linear mixed models (pglmm), which was originally included in the pez package. It has new model formula syntax that allows straightforward model set up, a faster version of maximum likelihood implementation via c++, and a Bayesian model fitting framework based on INLA.
   • We hope the model formula proposed here can be used to standardize PGLMMs set up across different tools (e.g. brms for Stan).
   • PGLMM for comparative data (pglmm.compare), which was originally from ape::binaryPGLMM() but has more features.

Usage examples of pglmm()

pglmm use similar syntax as lme4::lmer to specify random terms: add __ (two underscores) at the end of grouping variable (e.g. sp) to specify both phylogenetic and non-phylogenetic random terms; use (1|sp__@site) to specify nested term (i.e. species phylogenetic matrix V_sp nested within the diagonal of site matrix I_site) to test phylogenetic overdispersion or underdispersion. This should be the most commonly used one and is equal to kronecker(I_site, V_sp).

We can also use a second phylogeny for bipartite questions. For example, (1|parasite@host__) will be converted to kronecker(V_host, I_parasite); (1|parasite__@host__) will be converted to kronecker(V_host, V_parasite).

For details about model formula, see documentation ?phyr::pglmm. More application examples can be found in Ives 2018 Chapter 4.
