calcDstTrp: Calculate the triplet distance between two trees

Description

Returns the triplet distance between two trees.

Usage

calcDstTrp(tree_1, tree_2, nrmlsd = FALSE, parallel = FALSE,
  progress = "none")

Arguments

tree_1

TreeMan object

tree_2

TreeMan object

nrmlsd

Boolean, should returned value be between 0 and 1? Default, FALSE.

parallel

logical, make parallel?

progress

name of the progress bar to use, see create_progress_bar

Details

The triplet distance is calculated as the sum of different outgroups among every triplet of tips between the two trees. Normalisation is performed by dividing the resulting number by the total number of triplets shared between the two trees. The triplet distance is calculated only for shared tips between the two trees. Parallelizable.
