#RSTATS
New Git exercises in the #RStats package {saperlipopette}, about using the history!
❌ exo_log_deleted_file() "I want to find which commit deleted a file!"
❌ exo_log_deleted_line() "I want to find which commit deleted a line!"
🏷️ exo_revparse() "I want to understand ancestry references!"
🤨 exo_blame() "I want to find who added a specific line!"
📂 exo_worktree() "I need to see what the project looked like at a certain version!"

Implements a parsimonious evolutionary model to analyze
and predict gene-functional annotations in phylogenetic trees
as described in Vega Yon et al. (2021)
. Focusing on computational
efficiency, 'aphylo' makes it possible to estimate pooled
phylogenetic models, including thousands (hundreds) of
annotations (trees) in the same run. The package also provides
the tools for visualization of annotated phylogenies,
calculation of posterior probabilities (prediction) and
goodness-of-fit assessment featured in Vega Yon et al. (2021).
