a tree of class |
Two numbers corresponding to the two staircase-ness measures for a tree. These are two related measures:
1: the proportion of subtrees that are imbalanced (i.e. subtrees where the left child has more tip descendants than the right child, or vice versa)
2: the average of all the min(l,r)/max(l,r) values of each subtree, where l and r are the number of tips in the left and right children of a subtree.
