Clade sizes

Description

CladeSizes() reports the number of nodes in each clade in a tree.

Usage

CladeSizes(tree, internal = FALSE, nodes = NULL)

Arguments

tree	A tree of class phylo.
internal	Logical specifying whether internal nodes should be counted towards the size of each clade.
nodes	Integer specifying indices of nodes at the base of clades whose sizes should be returned. If unspecified, counts will be provided for all nodes (including leaves).

Value

CladeSizes() returns the number of nodes (including leaves) that are descended from each node, not including the node itself.
