In rdiaz02/PHYLOGR: Functions for Phylogenetically Based Statistical Analyses

Description

Independent contrast for Bauwens and Diaz-Uriarte (1997) data set; they are based on the data in the file Lacertid.Original using the phylogeny in Buwens and Diaz-Uriarte (1997), Tree A — see Lacertid.varcov

Format

The data frame contains eight columns. The first seven columns are the (standardized) independent contrasts for the respective variables —see detailed explanation in Lacertid.Original. The final column is

contr

the names of the contrasts, as the names of the two nodes that form the contrast
