Diameter statistic
Description
The Diameter of a tree is defined as the maximum length of a
shortest path. When taking branch lengths into account, this is equal to
twice the crown age.
When the tree is unrooted, we add 1 to the unweighted diameter, to reflect
traversing the (virtual) root.
Usage
diameter(phy, weight = FALSE)
Arguments
phy
phylo object or ltable
weight
if TRUE, uses branch lengths.
Value
Diameter
