prl_sim_traits_continuous: Simulate Continuous Traits on a Phylogeny

In rdinnager/phurl: Phylogenetic modelling Using Regularized Linear models

Description

Simulate Continuous Traits on a Phylogeny

Usage

prl_sim_traits_continuous(x, family = c("gaussian"), n_trait = 1,
  root_value = 0, initial_rate = 2, tau = 5, sd = 0.25)

Arguments

x	Object to be simulated from. Can be either a phurl object generated from phurl_prepare_data, or an object of class phylo
family	What error structure to use in the simulations? Can be a character vector of length n_trait to use different families for different traits.
n_trait	Number of traits to simulate.
root_value	A vector of root values for each trait. Will be recycled to length n_trait
initial_rate	Vector of standard deviations for initial rates. Rate at which traits are diverging after first split (will be drawn from a normal distribution with sd = initial_rate). Will be recycled to length n_trait
tau	A vector tau values. This parameter controls the degree to which trait evolution rates change at phylogeny nodes. Rate changes are sampled from a gaussian distribution with mean zero and sd equal to tau, scaled by the edge length of the parent edge. Will be recycled to length n_trait
sd	Gaussian error of final tip-level observations. Standard deviation of noise added to tip-level trait values. Only used if family="gaussian"
