Approximate Bayesian Computations for Phylogenetic Comparative Methods

Fits by ABC, the parameters of a stochastic process modelling the phylogeny and evolution of a suite of traits following the tree. The user may define an arbitrary Markov process for the trait and phylogeny. Importantly, trait-dependent speciation models are handled and fitted to data. See K. Bartoszek, P. Lio' (2019) . The suggested geiger package can be obtained from CRAN's archive < https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/geiger/>, suggested to take latest version. Otherwise its required code is present in the pcmabc package. The suggested distory package can be obtained from CRAN's archive < https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/distory/>, suggested to take latest version.
