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.
