Polytomy #5

Open wzmli opened 5 years ago

The current version of phyloglmm cannot handle phylogenetic trees with polytomies. It will only take full phylogenetic trees (i.e., n tips, n-1 nodes, and 2(n-1) branches).

I would be interested in knowing what are the consequences of using phylogenetic trees with politomies. Do the model fail to run? Do the estimates are nonsense? I have tried it with politomous trees and could run the models, but now I am afraid that the results are spurious.
