corClasses: Phylogenetic Correlation Structures

Description

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

• corBrownianBrownian motion model (Felsenstein 1985)

• corMartinsThe covariance matrix defined in Martins and Hansen (1997)

• corGrafenThe covariance matrix defined in Grafen (1989)

• corPagelThe covariance matrix defined in Freckelton et al. (2002)

• corBlombergThe covariance matrix defined in Blomberg et al. (2003)

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