WriteTNTForAnalysis: Counts the changes in a series of time bins

In graemetlloyd/metatree: Generating Meta-Analytical Phylogenies

Description

Given a vector of dates for a series of time bins and another for the times when a character change occurred will return the total number of changes in each bin.

Usage

WriteTNTForAnalysis(clad.matrix, file.name)

Arguments

clad.matrix	Text.
file.name	Text.

Details

Calculates the total number of evolutionary changes in a series of time bins. This is intended as an internal function for rate calculations, but could be used for other purposes (e.g., counting any point events in a series of time bins).

Value

A vector giving the number of changes for each time bin. Names indicate the maximum and minimum (bottom and top) values for each time bin.

Examples

# Create a random dataset of 100 changes:
change.times <- runif(100, 0, 100)

# Create time bins:
time.bins <- seq(100, 0, length.out=11)

# Get N changes for each bin:
ChangesInBins(change.times, time.bins)
