nltt_diff_exact_norm_brts

Calculates the exact difference between the nLTT
curves of the branching times

Provides functions to calculate the normalised Lineage-Through-
Time (nLTT) statistic, given two phylogenetic trees. The nLTT statistic measures
the difference between two Lineage-Through-Time curves, where each curve is
normalised both in time and in number of lineages.
