cactus-pie


Python utilites and graphical front-end for comparative analyses

Dylan Schwilk

Cactus-pie is a rewrite and extension of my program for comparative analyses, CACTUS. The graphical front-end is incomplete and in alpha, but the modules that make up the backend provide several useful programs including the Divergence Order Test (DOT).

Background
============

Cactus-pie is a rewrite and extension of CACTUS: comparative analysis
for continuous traits using statistics. 

Command-line programs available
===============================

All of these modules provide functions/methods and also provide a
command-line interface.  All of these programs read data in NEXUS file
format.  For instructions and a list of options, use the '-h' option
when calling the program.  For example: type 'python dorder.py -h'.

    - icontrasts.py:     Calculates independent contrasts.
    - dorder.py:         Provides the Divergence Order Test (DOT) and
                         Synchronized Changes Test (SvS).
    - branch_lengths.py: Assign branch lengths to a phylogeny
                         according to several different possible
                         algorithms.
    - cladelabel.py      label clades in a phylogeny as defined by a taxa
                         list in an auxilary file.
