extract.parsimonyNumber: Extraction of the actual number of solutions.

Description

extract.parsimonyNumber takes the two matrices computed by parsimonyNumber, and compute the actual number of parsimonious solution for any subtree starting from a given node.

Usage

"extract"(x, node = attr(x$nbrReconstructions, "ntaxa") + 1, what = c("number", "cost"), ...)

Arguments

x
an object of class "parsimonyNumber", result of function parsimonyNumber.
node
the root node of the subtree. By default, the root of the tree.
what
the quantity to retrieve. Either "number" for the number of solutions, or "cost" for the minimal cost of a solution. Default to "number".
...
unused

Value

An integer giving the number of equivalent parsimonious solutions.

Details

The parsimonious solutions are the one with the minimum number of shifts (that are given by matrice costReconstructions). This function sums the number of solutions (given in matrice nbrReconstructions) that have the minimum number of shifts.
