Extracts lineages leading to two tips, t1 and t2, from their most recent common ancestor.


Description

Extracts lineages leading to two tips, t1 and t2, from their most recent common ancestor.

ancestrallineages(phyl, phendata, t1, t2)

Arguments

phyl

The phylogeny of interest in phylo format

phendata

Phenotypic data for all tips

t1

The first tip of interest

t2

The second tip of interest

Details

None

Value

A list containing two matrices. Each matrix corresponds to a tip. The matrix consists of reconstructed ancestral values for all nodes leading from the mrca of both tips to the tip.
