Use the maximum likelihood parameters of the model to simulate trait values on a phylogenetic tree.
simulateTrait(object, tree = NULL)
| object | an S3 object of class POUMM |
|---|---|
| tree | a phylo object. If NULL (default) the trait is simulated on the tree, on which the POUMM object has been fit. |
a numerical vector containing the simulated trait value for each tip in the tree.
This function is a shortcut to calling
rVNodesGivenTreePOUMM, which will map the inferred parameters
of the model back to the original POUMM parameters alpha, theta, sigma, sigmae,
and g0.
