traitecoevo / modeladequacy

The purpose of this project is to develop an approach to evaluate the fit of continuous trait evolution models and to apply this approach to angiosperm functional trait data.

Original plan was also to do leaf N--do we still care? #41

this is a very existential query.

so while i don't think we need another trait for the fitContinuous style models, I thought it would be cool to do something similar regarding PGLS and sla ~ leafN is a natural example to explore. I think this is still worth doing as PGLS is perhaps the most commonly performed PCM. However, if it is going to be a huge pain in the ass to process, then I am opening to omitting this.

Pretty easy to process from the trait perspective.

I think someone will do a PGLS analysis of the SLA-Leaf N at some point and it would be nice if it were us, so that we do it properly...

More about whether PGLS fits into the logic of the paper/package as both are coming together...I don't know enough about how adequacy applies to it to tell...does all the same IID stuff apply?

Seems logical...let's do it.
