\title{Likelihood test for a shift in the evolutionary correlation between traits}
\usage{
evolvcv.lite(tree, X, maxit=2000, tol=1e-10)
}
\arguments{
\item{tree}{an object of class \code{"simmap"}.}
\item{X}{an \code{n} x \code{m} matrix of tip values for \code{m} continuously valued traits in \code{n} species - row names should be species names.}
\item{maxit}{an optional integer value indicating the maximum number of iterations for optimization - may need to be increased for large trees.}
\item{tol}{tolerance value for \code{"L-BFGS-B"} optimization.}
}
\description{
This function takes an object of class \code{"simmap"} with a mapped binary or multistate trait and data for two and only two continuously valued character. It then fits four different evolutionary models: common rates and correlation; different rates, common correlation; different correlations, common rates; no common structure.
}
\value{
A list with the results summarized for each model.
