To fit the brownian motion for independent evolution of traits I used below code:
rownames(carni)<-gsub("_",".",rownames(carni)) #Renaming to match the tip of tree
#Independent Evolution
brown_indepen <- mvBM(carni_tree,carni,param=list(constraint="diagonal"))
mvBM is the function from mvMORPH package. It seems by giving constraint="diagonal" would fit the model for traits to be evolved independently. I would like to know the idea behind it. Also, I got the below output after running the code. I would also like to know what below output means.
LogLikelihood: -589.2373
AIC: 1186.475
AICc: 1186.771
4 parameters
Estimated rate matrix

Size and range were the two traits.
