calcDstBLD: Calculate the BLD between two trees

In treeman: Phylogenetic Tree Manipulation Class and Methods

Description

Returns the branch length distance between two trees.

Usage

calcDstBLD(tree_1, tree_2, nrmlsd = FALSE, parallel = FALSE, progress = "none")

Arguments

tree_1	TreeMan object
tree_2	TreeMan object
nrmlsd	Boolean, should returned value be between 0 and 1? Default, FALSE.
parallel	logical, make parallel?
progress	name of the progress bar to use, see create_progress_bar

Details

BLD is the Robinson-Foulds distance weighted by branch length. Instead of summing the differences in partitions between the two trees, the metric takes the square root of the squared difference in branch lengths. Parallelizable.
