orisaved: Maximal or minimal amount of originality saved under optimal...

In ade4: Analysis of Ecological Data : Exploratory and Euclidean Methods in Environmental Sciences

Description

computes the maximal or minimal amount of originality saved over all combinations of species optimizing the amount of evolutionary history preserved. The originality of a species is measured with the QE-based index.

Usage

orisaved(phyl, rate = 0.1, method = 1)

Arguments

phyl	an object of class phylog
rate	a real value (between 0 and 1) indicating how many species will be saved for each calculation. For example, if the total number of species is 70 and 'rate = 0.1' then the calculations will be done at a rate of 10 % i.e. for 0 (= 0 %), 7 (= 10 %), 14 (= 20 %), 21 (= 30 %), ..., 63 (= 90 %) and 70(= 100 %) species saved. If 'rate = 0.5' then the calculations will be done for only 0 (= 0 %), 35 (= 50 %) and 70(= 100 %) species saved.
method	an integer either 1 or 2 (see details).

Details

1 = maximum amount of originality saved 2 = minimum amount of originality saved

Value

Returns a numeric vector.

Examples

data(carni70)
carni70.phy <- newick2phylog(carni70$tre)
tmax <- orisaved(carni70.phy, rate = 1 / 70, method = 1) 
tmin <- orisaved(carni70.phy, rate = 1 / 70, method = 2) 
plot(c(0, 1:70), tmax, xlab = "nb of species saved", ylab = "Originality saved", type = "l") 
lines(c(0, 1:70), tmin, lty = 2)
