SimulExample: A simulated data set

Description Format Source Examples

A simulated data set; the phylogeny is based in Bauwens and Diaz-Uriarte (1997), such as is included in the file ifsm.pdi (in the Examples directory). But the data are all completely fictitious and have nothing to do with lacertids (or, for that matter, with any other creatures).

This data frame contains the following columns:

sim.counter: the simulation counter
Tips: the name of tips; it matches those for the lacertid examples but, again, is unrelated to those
y: one numeric variable
x1: another numeric variable
x2: ditto
x3: ditto
x4: ditto
x5: guess what? same thing
x6: again
x7: once more
diet: a factor with fictitious levels Carnivore Herbivore Ommnivore
