corClasses: Phylogenetic Correlation Structures

Description

Classes of phylogenetic correlation structures ("corPhyl") available in ape.

• corBrownian: Brownian motion model (Felsenstein 1985)

• corMartins: The covariance matrix defined in Martins and Hansen (1997)

• corGrafen: The covariance matrix defined in Grafen (1989)

• corPagel: The covariance matrix defined in Freckelton et al. (2002)

• corBlomberg: The covariance matrix defined in Blomberg et al. (2003)

See the help page of each class for references and detailed description.
