scaleTree: Phylogenetic tree calibration

In pasraia/RRphylo: Phylogenetic Ridge Regression Methods for Comparative Studies

Description

The function is a wrapper around the functions "scalePhylo", "assign.ages", and "assign.brlen" written by Gene Hunt (http://paleobiology.si.edu/staff/individuals/hunt.cfm). It rescales tree branch lengths according to given calibration dates.

Usage

scaleTree(tree, tip.ages, node.ages=NULL, min.branch=0.1)

Arguments

tree	a phylogenetic tree. The tree needs not to be ultrametric and fully dichotomous.
tip.ages	a named vector including the ages (i.e. distance from the youngest tip within the tree) of the tips to be changed. If unspecified, the function assumes all the tips are correctly placed with respect to the root.
node.ages	a named vector including the ages (i.e. distance from the youngest tip within the tree) of the nodes to be changed. If no calibration date for nodes is supplied, the function shifts node position only where needed to fit tip ages.
min.branch	the minimum branch length that will be imposed for shifted nodes.

Value

Rescaled phylogentic tree.
