consensus: Concensus Trees
Description
Given a series of trees, this function returns the consensus tree. By
default, the strict-consensus tree is computed. To get the
majority-rule consensus tree, use p = 0.5
. Any value between
0.5 and 1 can be used.Usage
consensus(..., p = 1, check.labels = TRUE)
Value
an object of class "phylo"
.Details
Using check.labels = FALSE
results in
considerable decrease in computing times. This requires that all
trees have the same tip labels, and these labels are
ordered similarly in all trees (in other words, the element
tip.label
are identical in all trees).References
