coaltime: Coalescence time of two nodes
In bomeara/phybase: Basic functions for phylogenetic analysis

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

The function computes the coalescence time of two nodes.

1	coaltime(inode, jnode, nodematrix, nspecies)

`inode`	the first node, it could be an internode.
`jnode`	the second node, it could be an internode.
`nodematrix`	the tree node matrix
`nspecies`	the number of species

the function returns the coalescence time of inode and jnode.
