Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples
This function is an R interface for neighbor in the PHYLIP package (Felsenstein 2013). neighbor can be used for neighbor-joining (Saitou & Nei 1987) and UPGMA (Sokal & Michener 1958) phylogeny inference.

optional arguments to be passed to neighbor. See details for more information. |
Optional arguments include the following: quiet
suppress some output to R console (defaults to quiet = FALSE
); method
- can be "NJ"
or "nj"
(for neighbor-joining), or "UPGMA"
or "UPGMA"
(for UPGMA); random.order
add taxa to tree in random order (defaults to random.order = TRUE
); outgroup
outgroup if outgroup rooting of the estimated tree is desired (only works for method = "NJ"
, UPGMA trees are already rooted); and cleanup
remove PHYLIP input & output files after the analysis is completed (defaults to cleanup = TRUE
).
More information about the neighbor program in PHYLIP can be found here http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip/doc/neighbor.html.
Obviously, use of any of the functions of this package requires that PHYLIP (Felsenstein 1989, 2013) should first be installed. More information about installing PHYLIP can be found on the PHYLIP webpage: http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip.html.
This function returns an object of class "phylo"
that is the NJ or UPGMA tree.
