consensus: Concensus Trees

Description

Given a series of trees, this function returns the consensus tree. By default, the strict-consensus tree is computed. To get the majority-rule consensus tree, use p = 0.5. Any value between 0.5 and 1 can be used.

Usage

consensus(..., p = 1, check.labels = TRUE)

Arguments

Value

an object of class "phylo".

Details

Using check.labels = FALSE results in considerable decrease in computing times. This requires that all trees have the same tip labels, and these labels are ordered similarly in all trees (in other words, the element tip.label are identical in all trees).
