Function calculates the degree of phylogenetic signal from Procrustes shape variables
physignal(A, phy, iter = 999, seed = NULL, print.progress = FALSE)Function returns a list with the following components:
The estimate of phylogenetic signal.
The significance level of the observed signal.
Each random K-statistic from random permutations.
The number of random permutations used in the resampling procedure.
A phylogenetically aligned component analysis, based on OLS residuals.
The phylogenetic signal in 1, 1:2, 1:3, ..., 1:p dimensions, for the p components from PACA.
The matched call
A matrix (n x [p x k]) or 3D array (p x k x n) containing Procrustes shape variables for a set of specimens
A phylogenetic tree of class = "phylo" - see read.tree in library ape
Number of iterations for significance testing
An optional argument for setting the seed for random permutations of the resampling procedure. If left NULL (the default), the exact same P-values will be found for repeated runs of the analysis (with the same number of iterations). If seed = "random", a random seed will be used, and P-values will vary. One can also specify an integer for specific seed values, which might be of interest for advanced users.
A logical value to indicate whether a progress bar should be printed to the screen. This is helpful for long-running analyses.

The function estimates the degree of phylogenetic signal present in Procrustes shape variables for a given phylogeny.
It is assumed that the landmarks have previously been aligned
using Generalized Procrustes Analysis (GPA) [e.g., with gpagen].
The degree of phylogenetic signal in data is estimated using the multivariate version of the K-statistic
(Kmult: Adams 2014). This value evaluates the degree of phylogenetic signal
in a dataset relative to what is expected under a Brownian motion model of evolution. For geometric
morphometric data, the approach is a mathematical generalization of the Kappa statistic (Blomberg et al.
2003) appropriate for highly multivariate data (see Adams 2014). Significance testing
is found by permuting the shape data among the tips of the phylogeny. And effect size can be estimated
based on likelihood method that finds and optimal scaling of the tree; see physignal.z.
This function can also be used with univariate data (i.e. centroid size) if imported as matrix with rownames giving the taxa names. In this case, the estimate of phylogenetic signal is identical to that found using the standard kappa statistic (Blomberg et al. 2003).
The generic functions, print, summary, and plot all work with physignal.
The generic function, plot, produces a histogram of random K statistics, associated with the resampling procedure.
Starting with version 4.0.2, this function no longer reports an effect size. Effect sizes for phylogenetic signal can be calculated with physignal.z, based on likelihood.
Compared to older versions of geomorph, the order of input variables has changed, so that it is consistent with other functions in the program. Additionally, users should note that the function physignal no longer contains multiple methods. Only Kmult is used. Thus, for older scripts method="" should be removed from the function call.
