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

optional arguments to be passed to mix. See details for more information. |
Optional arguments include the following: quiet
suppress some output to R console (defaults to quiet = FALSE
); tree
object of class "phylo"
- if supplied, then the parsimony score will be computed on a fixed input topology; mixture
, a vector containing "W"
and "C"
in upper or lower case indicating which characters should be evaluated using Wagner (Eck & Dayhoff 1966; Kluge & Farris 1969) or Camin-Sokal (Camin & Sokal 1965) parsimony methods, respectively - this argument takes precedence over method
(see below); method
either "Wagner"
or "Camin-Sokal"
, in upper or lower case, indicating whether Wagner (Eck & Dayhoff 1966; Kluge & Farris 1969) or Camin-Sokal (Camin & Sokal 1965) parsimony should be used; random.order
add taxa to tree in random order (defaults to random.order = TRUE
); random.addition
number of random addition replicates for random.order = TRUE
(defaults to random.addition = 10
); threshold
threshold value for threshold parsimony (defaults to ordinary parsimony); ancestral
a vector of length equal to the number of columns in X
containing the the ancestral state at the root of the tree for each character, these should be "0"
, "1"
, and "?"
; 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
.
