Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples
This function is an R interface for treedist in the PHYLIP package (Felsenstein 2013). treedist can be used to compute the distance between trees by two different methods.
1 |
trees |
an object of class |
method |
method to compute the distance between trees. |
path |
path to the directory containing the executable treedist. If |
... |
optional arguments to be passed to treedist. See details for more information. |
Optional arguments include the following: quiet
suppress some output to R console (defaults to quiet = FALSE
); trees2
object of class "multiPhylo"
or "phylo"
- if two sets of trees are to be compared; rooted
logical value indicating whether trees should be treated as rooted (defaults to rooted = FALSE
); distances
argument telling treedist which distances to compute - could be "all"
(all pairwise in trees
), "all.1to2"
(all in trees
by all in trees2
), "adjacent"
(adjacent species in trees
only), and "corresponding"
(all corresponding trees in trees
and trees2
); and cleanup
remove PHYLIP input & output files after the analysis is completed (defaults to cleanup = TRUE
).
More information about the treedist program in PHYLIP can be found here http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip/doc/treedist.html.
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 a matrix of pairwise distances for distances = "all"
and distances = "all.1to2"
, or a named vector for distances = "adjacent"
and distances = "corresponding"
.
