Overview

About

Maintained by Gene HuntFirst published 2006-07-2516 releasesCRAN page ↗

Facilitates analysis of paleontological sequences of trait values. Functions are provided to fit, using maximum likelihood, simple evolutionary models (including unbiased random walks, directional evolution,stasis, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, covariate-tracking) and complex models (punctuation, mode shifts).
