#' Create Sequential Binary Partition from Phylogenetic Tree
#'
#' This function converts a binary phylogenetic tree to sequential binary
#' parition to be used to then build an ILR basis for compositional
#' metagenomic data.
#'
#' @param tr a \code{phylo} tree object with n leaves
#' @return a n by n-1 matrix of the sequential binary partition sign matrix
#' @details
#' The choice of orientation for a balance (i.e., which of the two descendant
#' clades of an internal node is in the numerator or denominator of the
#' log-ratio) is given by the default of the function phangorn::Children
#' and that choise is used consistently throughout the philr package.
