make.geosse.t: Geographic State Speciation and Extinction Model: Time Dependent Models

Description

Prepare to run time dependent GeoSSE (Geographic State Speciation and Extinction) on a phylogenetic tree and character distribution. This function creates a likelihood function that can be used in maximum likelihood or Bayesian inference.

Usage

make.geosse.t(tree, states, functions, sampling.f=NULL, strict=TRUE,
              control=list(), truncate=FALSE, spline.data=NULL)

Arguments

tree: A phylogenetic tree, in ape “phylo” format.
states: A vector of character states, each of which must be 0 (in both regions/widespread; AB), 1 or 2 (endemic to one region; A or B), or NA if the state is unknown. This vector must have names that correspond to the tip labels in the phylogenetic tree (tree$tip.label).
functions: A named character vector of functions of time. See details.
sampling.f: Vector of length 3 with the estimated proportion of extant species in states 0, 1 and 2 that are included in the phylogeny. A value of c(0.5, 0.75, 1) means that half of species in state 0, three quarters of species in state 1, and all the species in state 2 are included in the phylogeny. By default all species are assumed to be known.
strict: The states vector is always checked to make sure that the values are 0, 1 and 2 only. If strict is TRUE (the default), then the additional check is made that every state is present. The likelihood models tend to be poorly behaved where states are missing.
control: List of control parameters for the ODE solver. See details in make.bisse.
truncate: Logical, indicating if functions should be truncated to zero when negative (rather than causing an error). May be scalar (applying to all functions) or a vector (of length 7).
spline.data: List of data for spline-based time functions. See details in make.bisse.t

Details

Please see make.bisse.t for further details.

make.geosse.t returns a function of class geosse.t.

The funtions is a vector of named functions of time. For example, to have speciation rates be linear functions of time, while the extinction and dispersal rates be constant with respect to time, one can do

functions=rep(c("linear.t", "constant.t"),
  c(3, 4))

. The functions here must have t as their first argument, interpreted as time back from the present. See make.bisse.t for more information, and for some potentially useful time functions.

The function has argument list (and default values):


    f(pars, condition.surv=FALSE, root=ROOT.OBS, root.p=NULL,
      intermediates=FALSE)

The parameter vector pars is ordered sA, sB, sAB, xA, xB, dA, dB. Unresolved clade methods are not available for GeoSSE. With three states, it would rapidly become computationally infeasible. The arguments of this function are also explained in make.bisse.

starting.point.geosse produces a first-guess set of parameters, ignoring character states.

Examples

Run this code

## Due to a change in sample() behaviour in newer R it is necessary to
## use an older algorithm to replicate the previous examples
if (getRversion() >= "3.6.0") {
  RNGkind(sample.kind = "Rounding")
}

## Parameter values
pars <- c(1.5, 0.5, 1.0, 0.7, 0.7, 2.5, 0.5)
names(pars) <- diversitree:::default.argnames.geosse()

## Simulate a tree
set.seed(5)
phy <- tree.geosse(pars, max.t=4, x0=0)

## See the data
statecols <- c("AB"="purple", "A"="blue", "B"="red")
plot(phy, tip.color=statecols[phy$tip.state+1], cex=0.5)

## Create your list of functions. Its length corresponds to the number
## of parameters (speciation, extinction and dispersal) you want to
## estimate.
## For an unconstrained model, at least 7 parameters are estimated for
## sA, sB, sAB, xA, xB, dA, dB.
## In the case you want to define a model with linear functions of
## speciation and extinction, and constant dispersal:
functions <- rep(c("linear.t", "constant.t"), c(5, 2))

## Create the likelihood function
lik <- make.geosse.t(phy, phy$tip.state, functions)

## This function will estimate a likelihood from 12 parameters.
argnames(lik)

## Imagine that you want to get an estimate of the likelihood from a
## known set of parameters.
pars <- c(0.01,0.001,0.01,0.001,0.01,0.001,0.02,0.002,0.02,0.002,0.1,0.1)

## A guess at a starting point from character independent birth-death
## model (constant across time) .
p <- starting.point.geosse(phy)

#it only gives 7 parameters for time-constant model.

## Start an ML search from this point (takes from one minute to a very
## long time depending on your computer).

coef(fit)
}

## A model with constraints on the dispersal rates.
lik.d <- constrain(lik, dA ~ dB)

##Now dA and dB are the same parameter dB.

##The parameter dA must be removed from maximum likelihood initial parameters
