This function is an R interface for dnapenny in the PHYLIP package (Felsenstein 2013). dnapenny performs branch & bound parsimony searching following Hendy & Penny (1982).

optional arguments to be passed to dnapenny. See details for more information. |
Optional arguments include the following: quiet
suppress some output to R console (defaults to quiet = FALSE
); groups
number of groups of 1,000 trees (defaults to groups = 10000
); report
reporting frequency, in numbers of trees (defaults to report = 1000
); simple
simple branch & bound (defaults to simple = TRUE
); threshold
threshold value for threshold parsimony (defaults to ordinary parsimony); weights
vector of weights of length equal to the number of columns in X
(defaults to unweighted); outgroup
outgroup if outgroup rooting of the estimated tree is desired; and cleanup
remove PHYLIP input & output files after the analysis is completed (defaults to cleanup = TRUE
).

Obviously, use of any of the functions of this package requires that PHYLIP (Felsenstein 1989, 2013) should first be installed. Instructions for installing PHYLIP can be found on the PHYLIP webpage: http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip.html.
This function returns an object of class "phylo"
or "multiPhylo"
that is the tree or trees with the best parsimony score. tree$score
gives the parsimony score, for "phylo"
object tree
.
