phylo2sbp: Create Sequential Binary Partition from Phylogenetic Tree

In jsilve24/philr: Phylogenetic partitioning based ILR transform for metagenomics data

Create Sequential Binary Partition from Phylogenetic Tree

Description

This function converts a binary phylogenetic tree to sequential binary parition to be used to then build an ILR basis for compositional metagenomic data.

Usage

phylo2sbp(tr)

Arguments

tr	a phylo tree object with n leaves

Details

The choice of orientation for a balance (i.e., which of the two descendant clades of an internal node is in the numerator or denominator of the log-ratio) is given by the default of the function phangorn::Children and that choise is used consistently throughout the philr package.

Value

a n by n-1 matrix of the sequential binary partition sign matrix
