This function takes a modified object of class "multiPhylo"
with a mapped discrete character (e.g., see read.simmap
and sorts the columns of each tree$mapped.edge
to have the same state ordering. This is handy if we want to, for instance, run brownie.lite
on a set of mapped trees, and then average the fitted parameter values across trees. The function also works for a single tree.
orderMappedEdge(trees, ordering=NULL)
object of class "phylo"
or "multiPhylo"
.
ordering for the columns of $mapped.edge
. If NULL
, then an alphabetical order is assumed. Options are "alphabetical"
, "numerical"
, or any specific ordering of the mapped traits (e.g., c("A","B","C")
