dist.hamming: Pairwise Distances from Sequences

In phangorn: Phylogenetic Reconstruction and Analysis

Pairwise Distances from Sequences

Description

dist.hamming, dist.ml and dist.logDet compute pairwise distances for an object of class phyDat. dist.ml uses DNA / AA sequences to compute distances under different substitution models.

Usage

dist.hamming(x, ratio = TRUE, exclude = "none")

dist.ml(x, model = "JC69", exclude = "none", bf = NULL, Q = NULL,
  k = 1L, shape = 1, ...)

dist.logDet(x)

Arguments

x	An object of class phyDat
ratio	Compute uncorrected ('p') distance or character difference.
exclude	One of "none", "all", "pairwise" indicating whether to delete the sites with missing data (or ambiguous states). The default is handle missing data as in pml.
model	One of "JC69", "F81" or one of 17 amino acid models see details.
bf	A vector of base frequencies.
Q	A vector containing the lower triangular part of the rate matrix.
k	Number of intervals of the discrete gamma distribution.
shape	Shape parameter of the gamma distribution.
...	Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

So far 17 amino acid models are supported ("WAG", "JTT", "LG", "Dayhoff", "cpREV", "mtmam", "mtArt", "MtZoa", "mtREV24", "VT","RtREV", "HIVw", "HIVb", "FLU", "Blosum62", "Dayhoff_DCMut" and "JTT_DCMut") and additional rate matrices and frequencies can be supplied.

The "F81" model uses empirical base frequencies, the "JC69" equal base frequencies. This is even the case if the data are not nucleotides.

Value

an object of class dist
