BayesTraits V5.0.2 July 2025
Description
BayesTraits is a computer package for performing analyses of trait evolution among groups of species for which a phylogeny or sample of phylogenies is available. This new package incoporates our earlier and separate programes Multistate, Discrete and Continuous. BayesTraits can be applied to the analysis of traits that adopt a finite number of discrete states, or to the analysis of continuously varying traits. Hypotheses can be tested about models of evolution, about ancestral states and about correlations among pairs of traits.
Version 5.0.2 of BayesTraits
Bug Fix - The chains state would be set to stepping stones, after burn in, if an infinite number of iterations set.
Incorrect information about the format of binary maps has been removed.
Added - Farbic regression model.
Bug Fix - GLM models have tree transforms applied twice, since V4.0.0. GLM and contrast results are now the same.
