Entropy

Ntropy

Calculate the entropy of a vector of probabilities, in bits.
Probabilities should sum to one.
Probabilities equalling zero will be ignored.

Implements measures of tree similarity, including
information-based generalized Robinson-Foulds distances
(Phylogenetic Information Distance, Clustering Information Distance,
Matching Split Information Distance; Smith 2020)
<doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa614>;
Jaccard-Robinson-Foulds distances (Bocker et al. 2013)
<doi:10.1007/978-3-642-40453-5_13>,
including the Nye et al. (2006) metric <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bti720>;
the Matching Split Distance (Bogdanowicz & Giaro 2012)
<doi:10.1109/TCBB.2011.48>;
Maximum Agreement Subtree distances;
the Kendall-Colijn (2016) distance <doi:10.1093/molbev/msw124>, and the
Nearest Neighbour Interchange (NNI) distance, approximated per Li et al.
(1996) <doi:10.1007/3-540-61332-3_168>.
Includes tools for visualizing mappings of tree space (Smith 2022)
<doi:10.1093/sysbio/syab100>,
for identifying islands of trees (Silva and Wilkinson 2021)
<doi:10.1093/sysbio/syab015>,
for calculating the median of sets of trees,
and for computing the information content of trees and splits.
