Title: Analysis of Comparative Data with Hierarchical Autocorrelation
Author(s): Cecile Ane*+
Companies: University of Wisconsin-Madison
Address: Department of Statistics, MSC, Madison, WI, 53706,
Keywords: comparative methods ; linear models ; phylogeny
Abstract:

In comparative biology, observational units are usually species and typically do not yield i.i.d. observations. Rather, closely related species tend to be more alike than distantly related species. I will discuss methods applicable to these data and show some asymptotic properties of generalized least squares estimates in this setting.
