Computes Strahler number for trees and nodes
Description
Computes the Strahler number of all nodes and tips in a phylogenetic tree.
Usage
strahlerNumber(tree, plot=TRUE)
extract.strahlerNumber(tree, i, plot=TRUE)
Arguments
tree
an object of class "phylo".
i
order of Strahler number to extract for extract.strahlerNumber.
plot
logical value indicating whether to plot the tree with Strahler numbers for node labels.
Details
The function strahlerNumber computes the Strahler number of all nodes and tips in the tree. For more information about Strahler numbers see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strahler_number. The function extract.strahlerNumber extracts all of the most inclusive clades of Strahler number i.
Value
Either a vector with the Strahler number for each tip and internal node; or (for extract.strahlerNumber the set of (most inclusive) subtrees with Strahler number i as an object of class "multiPhylo".
