di2multi.simmap: Collapse branches of zero length to polytomy in stochastic map style tree

Description

This function collapses branches of zero length (or, more specifically, branches with length shorter than tol) to create a polytomy in a stochastic-map style tree.

Usage

# S3 method for simmap
di2multi(phy, ...)

Arguments

phy

object of class "simmap" containing a stochastically mapped discrete character.

...

optional argument tol, length below which edges should be treated as having zero length.

Value

A tree with a stochastically mapped discrete character

Details

This function should theoretically perform similarly to di2multi in ape.
