R help - Mar 2013 - PGLMM in Picante Question

Hi Guys,

Using the PGLMM function in Picante it is theoretically possible to
generate other models (than the 5 flagged ones indicated) by
differently structuring the independent variable (Y), dependent
variables (X), and covariance matrices (VV).  I was wondering anyone
could give me some advice (or code) for generating a model that
includes the phylogenetic repulsion model (3) with the traits model?

Thanks a million!

Frank

  This would probably get more informed responses on the 
r-sig-phylo at r-project.org mailing list (phylogenetics/comparative
methods Special Interest Group)
