Release:
Development (master):
CRAN:
dispRity
is a R
modular package for measuring disparity in multidimensional spaces.Check out the paper associated with the first version of this package.
Check out the presentation or the video of some of the package's features.
install.packages("dispRity")
library(dispRity)
The package is also available in the phylotastic r-universe or through the phylogenetics CRAN Task View.
You can also install the piping hot development version (not always recommended!) by installing the package directly through github:
if(!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("TGuillerme/dispRity")
library(dispRity)
See the patch notes for the latest developments.
A detailed vignette is available online or as a pdf:
Otherwise, each functions has a detailed associated manual with examples in R
(?which.function
).
Additionally, you can learn more about the structure of dispRity
objects here.
You can download the workshop follow-along sheet here (use right click > save link as...) or visualise it in html here.
Not sure what disparity metric to use?
Not sure what a disparity metric is in the first place?
Check out this paper on selecting the best metric for your specific question in Ecology and Evolution or the moms
shiny app.
You can also find more information in the dispRity
manual.

custom.subsets
, chrono.subsets
, boot.matrix
and dispRity
. This change is not affecting the user level appart from now allowing to bypass some error messages (thanks to Mario Corio for that obvious suggestion).pgls.dispRity
to run PGLS test on a dispRity
object with a level-2 metric and a tree (using excellent phylolm
algorithm). The new test comes with its own S3 print, summary and plot functions if the input dispRity
data contains multiple trees or multiple matrices (running and handling the output of multiple phylolm
).ellipse.volume
is now ellipsoid.volume
; rescale.dispRity
is now scale.dispRity
and randtest.dist
is now distance.randtest
(the old aliases still work).Previous patch notes and notes for the next version can be seen here.

Also don't forget to cite R
and consider citing the ape
package since dispRity
heavily relies on it (and, generally, cite all the R
packages you use!):

I have been developping this package while being hired succesively by these people (thanks a lot for supporting me develop this package, sometimes as a side project): Natalie Cooper, Martin Brazeau, Vera Weisbecker and Gavin Thomas.
If you use the dispRity
pacakge for morphological disparity analyses, you should also check the excellent Claddis
package!
