Fast mvSLOUCH: Model comparison for multivariate Ornstein--Uhlenbeck-based models of trait evolution on large phylogenies

These are the Supplementary Material, R scripts and numerical results accompanying Bartoszek, Fuentes Gonzalez, Mitov, Pienaar, Piwczyński, Puchałka, Spalik and Voje \"Model Selection Performance in Phylogenetic Comparative Methods under multivariate Ornstein–Uhlenbeck Models of Trait Evolution\".
The four data files concern two datasets. Ungulates: measurements of muzzle width, unworn lower third molar crown height, unworn lower third molar crown width and feeding style and their phylogeny; Ferula: measurements of ratio of canals, periderm thickness, wing area, wing thickness,  and fruit mass, and their phylogeny., Ungulates
The compiled ungulate dataset involves two key components: phenotypic data (Data.csv) and phylogenetic tree (Tree.tre), which consist on the following (full references for the citations presented below are provided in the paper linked to this repository, which also provides further details on the compiled dataset):The phenotypic data includes three continuous variables and one categorical variable. The continuous variables (MZW: muzzle width; HM3: unworn lower third molar crown height; WM3: unworn lower third molar crown width), measured in cm, come from Mendoza et al. (2002; J. Zool.). The categorical variable (FS, i.e. feeding style: B=browsers, G=grazers, M=mixed feeders) is based on Pérez–Barbería and Gordon (2001; Proc. R. Soc. B: Biol. Sci.). Taxonomic mismatches between these two sources were resolved based on Wilson and Reeder (2005; Johns Hopkins University Press). Only taxa with full entries for all these variables were included (i.e. no missing data allowed).The phy..., any text file editor and R
