sim.tree: Simulation of phylogenetic or functional tree.

Description

Simulates a random tree.

Usage

sim.tree(s, m = 100)

Arguments

s

number of species.

m

a structural parameter defining the average difference between species. Default is 100. Lower numbers create trees dominated by increasingly similar species, higher numbers by increasingly dissimilar species.

Value

An hclust object.

Details

A very simple tree based on random genes/traits.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
tree <- sim.tree(10)
plot(as.dendrogram(tree))
tree <- sim.tree(100,10)
plot(as.dendrogram(tree))
tree <- sim.tree(100,1000)
plot(as.dendrogram(tree))
# }
