make_tree_ob: Initialize Tree Object for Macroevolution Simulation

In rdinnager/nichefillr: Niche Filling Simulations in R

Description

Initializes an object used by the macroevolutionary simulation to store data about species, their relationships, and their population sizes and trait values

Usage

make_tree_ob(b_rate = 0.001, init_traits, e_var, init_Ns, trait_hist = TRUE,
  save_tree = TRUE)

Arguments

b_rate	Pure birth rate for new species, here just to get first branching;
init_traits	Vector of initial trait values of length n_trait, where n_trait is the number of traits to be simulated
e_var	Vector of gaussian variances determining rate of evolution along branches; of length n_trait; This is the Brownian motion rate parameter

Value

Initialized object with macroevolutionary simulation setup
