Balance metric (in the case of a binary tree), which measures
the sum across all internal nodes of one over the maximum depth of all
attached tips to that node.
Although also defined on non-binary trees, the treestats package only
provides code for binary trees.

Collection of phylogenetic tree statistics,
collected throughout the literature. All functions have been
written to maximize computation speed. The package includes
umbrella functions to calculate all statistics, all balance
associated statistics, or all branching time related statistics.
Furthermore, the 'treestats' package supports summary statistic
calculations on Ltables, provides speed-improved coding of
branching times, Ltable conversion and includes algorithms to
create intermediately balanced trees. Full description can be
found in Janzen (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.ympev.2024.108168>.
