    R markdown to recreate analyses

    Reading in the data files

    First we read in the data files.

    sqTree<-read.tree(text=getURL("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lukejharmon/pcm/master/datafiles/squamate.phy"))
    plot(sqTree)

    sqData<-read.csv(text=getURL("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lukejharmon/pcm/master/datafiles/brandley_table.csv"))

    Simulate binary character on tree

    This code generates plots like Figure 7.4

    qMatrix<-cbind(c(-1, 1), c(1, -1))*0.001
    sh_slow<-sim.history(sqTree, qMatrix, anc="1")
    ## Done simulation(s).
    plotSimmap(sh_slow, pts=F, ftype="off")
    ## no colors provided. using the following legend:
    ##       1       2 
    ## "black"   "red"
    add.simmap.legend(leg=c("limbed", "limbless"), colors=c("black", "red"), x=0.024, y =23, prompt=F)

    qMatrix<-cbind(c(-1, 1), c(1, -1))*0.01
    sh_fast<-sim.history(sqTree, qMatrix, anc="1")
    ## Done simulation(s).
    plotSimmap(sh_fast, pts=F, ftype="off")
    ## no colors provided. using the following legend:
    ##       1       2 
    ## "black"   "red"

    qMatrix<-cbind(c(-0.02, 0.02), c(0.005, -0.005))
    sh_asy<-sim.history(sqTree, qMatrix, anc="1")
    ## Note - the rate of substitution from i->j should be given by Q[j,i].
    ## Done simulation(s).
    plotSimmap(sh_asy, pts=F, ftype="off")
    ## no colors provided. using the following legend:
    ##       1       2 
    ## "black"   "red"

    Find the limbless species

    Brandley et al.’s data has limb measurements. We will get our discrete character by counting species with zero-length fore- and hind limbs as limbless. This is different from the original analysis in Brandley et al., which counts things like spurs as “limbs” - and so our results might differ from theirs a bit.

    limbless<-as.numeric(sqData[,"FLL"]==0 & sqData[,"HLL"]==0)
    sum(limbless)
    ## [1] 51
    # get names that match
    nn<-sqData[,1]
    nn2<-sub(" ", "_", nn)
    names(limbless)<-nn2

    Fit Mk model

    We can fit a symmetric Mk model to these data using both likelihood and MCMC

    # likelihood
    td<-treedata(sqTree, limbless)
    ## Warning in treedata(sqTree, limbless): The following tips were not found in 'phy' and were dropped from 'data':
    ##  Gonatodes_albogularis
    ##  Lepidophyma_flavimaculatum
    ##  Trachyboa_boulengeri
    dModel<-fitDiscrete(td$phy, td$data)
    
    # MCMC
    mk_diversitree<-make.mk2(force.ultrametric(td$phy), td$data[,1])
    simplemk<-constrain(mk_diversitree, q01~q10)
    er_bayes<-mcmc(simplemk, x.init=0.1, nsteps=10000, w=0.01)
    ## 1: {0.0189} -> -141.93605
    ## 2: {0.0162} -> -135.45732
