cor_common_nodes: Proportion of commong nodes between two trees

Description

Calculates the number of nodes, in each tree, that are common (i.e.: that have the same exact list of labels). The correlation is between 0 (actually, 2*(nnodes-1)/(2*nnodes), for two trees with the same list of labels - since the top node will always be identical for them). Where 1 means that every node in the one tree, has a node in the other tree with the exact same list of labels. Notice this measure is non-parameteric (it ignores the heights and relative position of the nodes).

Usage

cor_common_nodes(dend1, dend2, ...)

Arguments

dend1

a dendrogram.

dend2

a dendrogram.

...

not used.

Value

A correlation value between 0 to 1 (almost identical trees)
