genETMTree: Generation of rooted binary trees under the equiprobable-types-model (ETM)
Description
genETMTree - Generates a rooted binary tree in phylo
format with the given number of n leaves under the
equiprobable-types-model.
Given n, all tree shapes/topologies with n leaves are
equiprobable under the ETM.
Usage
genETMTree(n)
Value
genETMTree A single tree of class phylo is returned.
Arguments
n
Integer value that specifies the desired number of leaves, i.e.,
vertices with in-degree 1 and out-degree 0.
Due to the restrictions of the phylo or multiphylo format,
the number of leaves must be at least 2 since there must be at
least one edge.
