\title{Multivariate Brownian simulation with multiple correlations and rates}
\usage{
sim.corrs(tree, vcv, anc=NULL, internal=FALSE)
}
\arguments{
	\item{tree}{is a phylogenetic tree in 'phylo' format; or a modified 'phylo' tree with a mapped discrete character.}
	\item{vcv}{is a square covariance matrix or named list of matrices (one for each mapped state on the tree).}
	\item{anc}{optional vector of values for the root state.}
	\item{internal}{logical value indicating whether to return states at internal nodes.}
 }
\description{
	This function conducts BM simulation on a tree with multiple rates and/or multiple evolutionary correlations between characters. If \code{vcv} is a single matrix, instead of a list of matrices, \code{sim.corrs} will simulate multivariate BM with a single rate matrix.
}
\value{
	A matrix containing the multivariate tip states for the \code{n} species in the tree (and nodes if \code{internal=} \code{TRUE}).
