In bcm-uga/apTreeshape: Analyses of Phylogenetic Treeshape

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

This function returns a sequence containing the number of subtrees of size n, n-1, ..., 3, 2 where n is the size of the tree. The 'k'th element of the sequence is the number of subtrees of size n-k+1 in the tree, where n is the number of tips of the tree.

tree

An object of class "treeshape".

A sequence of size n-1 (where n is the number of tips of the tree) containing the number of subtrees of each size. spectrum.treeshape(tree)[1] is the number of subtrees with n tips (equal to 1). spectrum.treeshape(tree)[n-1] is the number of cherries of the tree (subtrees with 2 tips).
