R help - Sep 2017 - How does pbtree (from the phytools package) work?

Hi, I'm interested in using pbtree (package phytools) to simulate a
phylogeny, but would first like to understand how the simulation works
(i.e. when does a split occur and how is the split chosen?). Can anyone
point me to the model that is used?

Thank you!

Hello,

The best way for you to know that is to read the package's documentation.

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/phytools/index.html

I suggest the refference manual phytools.pdf

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
