Abstract

Abstract
Summary: Phylogenetic comparative methods are essential for addressing evolutionary hypotheses with interspecific data. The scale and scope of such data have increased dramatically in the past few years. Many existing approaches are either computationally infeasible or inappropriate for data of this size. To address both of these problems, we present geiger v2.0 , a complete overhaul of the popular R package geiger . We have reimplemented existing methods with more efficient algorithms and have developed several new approaches for accomodating heterogeneous models and data types.
Availability and implementation: This R package is available on the CRAN repository http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/geiger/ . All source code is also available on github http://github.com/mwpennell/geiger-v2 . geiger v2.0 depends on the ape package.
