yule

a logical specifying whether to consider the root
    edge in the calculations.

use.root.edge

This function fits by maximum likelihood a Yule model, i.e. a
  birth-only model to the branching times computed from a phylogenetic
  tree.

models

ape provides functions for reading, writing, plotting, and
        manipulating phylogenetic trees, analyses of comparative data
        in a phylogenetic framework, analyses of diversification and
        macroevolution, computing distances from allelic and nucleotide
        data, reading nucleotide sequences, and several tools such as
        Mantel's test, computation of minimum spanning tree,
        generalized skyline plots, estimation of absolute evolutionary
        rates and clock-like trees using mean path lengths,
        non-parametric rate smoothing and penalized likelihood.
        Phylogeny estimation can be done with the NJ, BIONJ, and ME
        methods.
