Hello, My name is Sivan and I am a master degree student in statistics,my problem is as follows: I have a dataset containing gene sequences and I would like to create a phylogenetic tree from it. The problem that I can't seem to find a function to do this kind of operation. I read the ape package manual and I haven't found a command that takes raw data and turns it into a tree. does anyone

Can you recommend an R library that will help me create a diagram of a phylogenetic tree on which specific images are placed at appropriate nodes of the tree? For example, I have specific image files associated with each member of the phylogenetic tree, and I would like to automate the display of the image next to the correct node of the tree. I can provide an image file with an example.

Hi, I'm trying to build a mixed-effects model in which I'd like to include either a distance matrix or a phylogenetic tree as a random effect. The troubles I've had are that: 1. Function lmer() in package lme4 only accepts a data frame column as a random factor and not a distance matrix. 2. Function MCMCglmm() in package MCMCglmm only accepts a rooted and ultrametric phylogenetic

Hello, Is it possible to include information about phylogenetic relatedness among species (when species are replicates for each study within a meta-analysis) in a meta-anlaysis in the metafor package? Alternatively, I wonder if the method f Lajeunesse 2009 American Naturalist has been adopted in R in any fashion? Thanks, Scott Chamberlain [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi I am trying to get a table of means of parameter 1 across BINS of parameter 2. I am working in proteomics and a sample of my data is as follows cluster-age clock-rate(evolutionary rate) scopclass 0.002 10 A 0.045 0.1 B 0.13 15 A 0.15 34 D .... .... ....

Hello. I'm trying to use the functions pandit and treebase. They are in the package apTreeshape. Once I've loaded the package, R responses: - no function pandit/treebase. Somebody knows why or what is the reason? Thanks, Arnau. ------------------------------------------------------------ Arnau Mir Torres Edifici A. Turmeda Campus UIB Ctra.

Hi I am looking for suitable packages in R that do regression analyses using least median squares method (or better). Additionally, I am also looking for packages that implement algorithms/methods for detecting outliers that can be discarded before doing the regression analyses. Although some websites refer to "lms" method under package "lps" in R, I am unable to find such a

Dear all, I wanted to let you know about four phylogenetic comparative methods (PCM) packages that have become available on (3 on CRAN and 1 on GitHub) recently that hopefully will be interesting to somebody. Three of them go significantly beyond the Brownian motion (BM) and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) processes. 1) There is a new version of mvSLOUCH available. The most important change is that the

Hello, I am trying to carry out a phylogenetic autoregression to test whether my data show a phylogenetic signal, but I keep calculating bizzare R-squared values. My script is: > library(ape) > x <-

Hi I have data of the following form ID age member_FLAG 1 25 Y 2 36.75 N 3 75.5 N ......... ......... I want to get a histogram of this data showing distribution of member_flag in each age-bin i.e. how many values in each age bin have a member_flag of 'Y' and how many have 'N'. I was able to do the same using barplot2. However I also need similar

Take a look at lmekin() in the coxme package. The motivating data set for my development of coxme was the Minnesota Family Breast Cancer project: 24050 subjects in 462 families. The random effect is an intercept per subject with sigma^2 K as its variance where K is the kinship matrix (1 for self-self, .5 for parent-child or sib-sib, .25 for uncle-neice, etc). lmekin is a linear models front

Dear all, I would like to ask you the following: I have data about different manuscripts, together with data about the presence/absence of copying errors, in the days when manuscript were really manuscripts. I would ideally like to use the data to draw a phylogenetic tree, so that I can infer which ms was copied from which. The error presence/absence is coded in binary format. The plan is to use

Hello R users, Can any one please help me to find a way to build phylogenetic tree by R program from any distance matrix. Suppose I have a data like : MATRIX [1] '1' 0.0 [2] '2' 0.071 0.0 [3] '3' 0.036 0.286 0.0 [4] '4' 0.429 0.75 0.714 0.0 [5] '5' 0.679 0.179 0.214 0.536 0.0 [6] '6' 0.893 0.929 0.964 0.464 0.357 0.0 [7]

Hi, Using Ape, I have constructed an object of class "phylo", using the method 'nj' (lets call the object 'tree_ja'). I also have a given subset of 'tree_ja' in a vector (lets call the vector 'subspecies'). What I want to do, is construct a nj tree - plot(tree_ja) - but have the species in vector 'subspecies' shown as red at the tips of the

Hello, I would like to place shaded boxes on different areas of a phylogenetic tree plot. Since I can not determine how to find axes on the phylogenetic tree plot I am not able to place the box over certain areas. Below is example code for the shaded box that I have tried to use, and the first four values specify the position. rect(110, 400, 135, 450, col="grey",

Hi Thanks much for the prompt response to my earlier enquiry on packages for regression analyses. Along the same topic(?), I have another question about which I could use some input. I am retreiving data from a MySQL database using RODBC. The table has many BLOB columns and each BLOB column has data in the format "id1 \t id2 \t measure \n id3 \t id4 \t measure...." (i.e. multiple rows

Dear Colleagues, We are using the phylog.gls.fit() function from the R package "PHYLOGR" (Diaz-Uriarte R, Garland T: PHYLOGR: Functions for phylogenetically based statistical analyses. 2007. Available at [http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/PHYLOGR/index.html]) to correct for lack of independence between data points. (In our particular case, the lack of independence is due to

Hi I have a table that goes data cluster_ac clockrate age class 7337 0.9 0.001 alpha_proteins 7888 0.1 0.78 beta proteins etc The class column can have 7-8 different unique values While the clockrate and age columns are floats varying from 0 to 1. I wish to get the average clockrate across each of the classes for this data. I would appreciate your help

Hi I am new to R programming and am using subset to extract part of a data as follows names(dataset) = c("genome1","genome2","dist","score"); prunedrelatives <- subset(dataset, score < -5); However when I use unique to find the number of unique genomes now present in prunedrelatives I get results identical to calling unique(dataset$genome1) although
