title: 'phylosignalDB: Explore Phylogenetic Signals Using Distance-Based Methods'
version: 0.2.2
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.phylosignalDB
abstract: A unified method, called M statistic, is provided for detecting phylogenetic
  signals in continuous traits, discrete traits, and multi-trait combinations. Blomberg
  and Garland (2002) <https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1420-9101.2002.00472.x> provided a
  widely accepted statistical definition of the phylogenetic signal, which is the
  "tendency for related species to resemble each other more than they resemble species
  drawn at random from the tree". The M statistic strictly adheres to the definition
  of phylogenetic signal, formulating an index and developing a method of testing
  in strict accordance with the definition, instead of relying on correlation analysis
  or evolutionary models. The novel method equivalently expressed the textual definition
  of the phylogenetic signal as an inequality equation of the phylogenetic and trait
  distances and constructed the M statistic. Also, there are more distance-based methods
  under development.
