get_edge_tbl: Get a table with node and edge info

In TheoPannetier/comrad: R implementation of a Competitive Radiation model

Get a table with node and edge info

Description

Returns a table containing the tree topology (parent-to-child node pairs; whether a node is a tip or internal), edge (branch) lengths and timing of nodes (branching times).

Usage

get_edge_tbl(phylo)

Arguments

phylo

an object of the class phylo as introduced in ape. The phylogeny must start with the crown node (not stem), and be binary (no hard polytomies).

Value

a tibble with one observation per branch and five variables:

• parent_node ID of the parent node

• child_node ID of the child node

• is_tip logical, is the (child) node a tip (TRUE) of the tree or an internal node (FALSE)

• edge_length numeric length of the edge between parent and child, i.e. the branch length

• time for timetrees, the time of the node relative to present (taken as the latest tip(s) in the tree)
