Is there a package that will allow me to fit Brownian motion and Ornstein?Uhlenbeck models of evolution for discrete traits? I know that geiger and ouch have commands for fitting these models for continuous traits, but these aren't suitable for discrete trait evolution, correct? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Discrete-trait-Ornstein-Uhlenbeck-in-R-tp4649356.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

The analogue of Brownian motion would presumably be a continuous-time neutral Markov chain on a discrete space ... (by "discrete" do you mean a trait such as microsatellite length, or a categorical trait, or ... ?) Have you checked the Phylogenetics task view <cran.r-project.org/web/views/Phylogenetics.html> ? It says that geiger fits discrete-trait models. If you don't get an answer here you might have better luck on the r-sig-phylo at r-project.org mailing list ... Ben Bolker
