How could I calculate traits value considering phylogeny?

06 June 2018 0 1K Report

I want to calculate traits values of every plant speices considering phylogeny, e.g. traits values after removing the phylogenetic signal. I have calculate node traits values with PIC in R. However, I want to get tip traits values.
