title: 'ShiVa: Detection of Evolutionary Shifts in Both Optimal Value and Variance'
version: 1.1.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.ShiVa
abstract: Implements statistical methods for detecting evolutionary shifts in both
  the optimal trait value (mean) and evolutionary diffusion variance. The method uses
  an L1-penalized optimization framework to identify branches where shifts occur,
  and the shift magnitudes. It also supports the inclusion of measurement error. For
  more details, see Zhang, Ho, and Kenney (2023) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2312.17480>.
