PCM2 Model Comparisons And PGLS

PCM2 moves beyond preparation and into comparative model behavior.

What This Part Covers

  • transformed-tree behavior
  • Brownian, OU, and early-burst model families
  • likelihood-ratio model comparisons
  • baseline GLS before phylogenetic correction
  • Pagel-lambda PGLS after phylogenetic correction

Why This Matters

This part tests whether the runtime can support serious comparative workflows without quietly drifting from the reference R path.

What This Part Answers

  • Do transformed-tree and comparative model-fit surfaces behave coherently on the governed primate study?
  • Do baseline GLS and phylogenetically corrected PGLS stay readable as one comparative narrative?
  • Can the public runtime story support serious comparative modeling without hiding its dependence on governed reference review?
