Package wish list

  • Add the possibility to use a multiPhylo object in time.series.
  • A jackknife.ordination function for jackknifing the pre-ordination matrix and feed an ordination pipeline (paralel-able and out-of-R-able)
  • Add mvtnorm and Pie and Weitz's 2001 BRW null models.
  • From Anderson et al 2012 Nature: implement the following in Claddis? :"strength of association between the the 11 coordinate axes (CA) of the NMDS and the biomechanical characters using Spearman rank-order (for continuous characters) and Mann- Whitney U (for the discrete characters) tests".
  • Add correlation with sample size for disparity metrics (calculate Spearman’s rho for the correlation between the metric and the sample size)
  • Test from Anderson: We applied paired-sample t tests as outlined in Zelditch et al. (2004: 222)
  • We also calculated marginal likelihoods for variance as an alternative test for differences in functional disparity between stages. where L is the likelihood, n is sample size, σ2 is the estimated variance parameter, and s2 is the variance
  • Changes in disparity between stage bins follows the procedure outlined in Finarelli and Flynn (2007).

To do!

  • Improve test.dispRity architecture
  • Change the structure of the dispRity calculation loop to be run in C. make.metric would then be a compiler function.
  • In manual, describe dataset + deal with comments
