makeL: Matrix of branch lengths along root-to-tip paths
Description
This function produces a \(n * m\) matrix, where n=number of
tips and m=number of branches (i.e. n + number of nodes). Each row
represents the branch lengths aligned along a root-to-tip path.
Usage
makeL(tree)
Value
The function returns a \(n * m\) matrix of branch lengths for all
root-to-tip paths in the tree (one per species).
Arguments
tree
a phylogenetic tree. The tree needs not to be ultrametric and
fully dichotomous.
