Computes phylogenetic covariance matrices from a "simmap"
object.
multiC(tree, internal=FALSE)
A list of matrices.
an object of class "simmap"
consisting of a phylogeny with a mapped discrete character.
logical value indicating whether or not internal nodes should be returned.

This function takes a modified "phylo"
object as input and returns a set of so-called phylogenetic covariance matrices (e.g., see vcv.phylo
) as a list: one for each mapped state.
Used internally by multiple phytools functions, such as brownie.lite
.
