PCMCond(tree, model, r = 1, metaI = PCMInfo(NULL, tree, model,
  verbose), verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

tree

a phylo object with N tips.

model

an S3 object specifying both, the model type (class, e.g. "OU") as well as the concrete model parameter values at which the likelihood is to be calculated (see also Details).

r

an integer specifying a model regime

metaI

a list returned from a call to PCMInfo(X, tree, model), containing meta-data such as N, M and k.

verbose

logical indicating if some debug-messages should printed.

Value

an object of type specific to the type of model
