boot: Estimate of confidence intervals of molecular clock...
In treedater: Fast Molecular Clock Dating of Phylogenetic Trees with Rate Variation

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

If the original treedater fit estimated the root position, root position will also be estimated for each simulation, so the returned trees may have different root positions. Some replicates may converge to a strict clock or a relaxed clock, so the parameter estimates in each replicate may not be directly comparable. It is possible to compute confidence intervals for the times of particular nodes or for estimated sample times by inspecting the output from each fitted treedater object, which is contained in the $trees attribute.

boot(td, tres, ncpu = 1, searchRoot = 1,
  overrideTempConstraint = TRUE, overrideClock = NULL, quiet = TRUE,
  normalApproxTMRCA = FALSE, parallel_foreach = FALSE)

`td`	A fitted treedater object
`tres`	A list or multiPhylo with bootstrap trees with branches in units of substitutions per site
`ncpu`	Number of threads to use for parallel computation. Recommended.
`searchRoot`	See dater
`overrideTempConstraint`	If TRUE (default) will not enforce positive branch lengths in simualtion replicates. Will speed up execution.
`overrideClock`	May be 'strict' or 'additive' or 'relaxed' in which case will force simulations to fit the corresponding model. If ommitted, will inherit the clock model from td
`quiet`	If TRUE will minimize output printed to screen
`normalApproxTMRCA`	If TRUE will use estimate standard deviation from simulation replicates and report confidence interval based on normal distribution
`parallel_foreach`	If TRUE will use the foreach package for parallelization. May work better on HPC systems.
