max_width

Calculates the maximum width, this is calculated by first
collecting the depth of each node and tip across the entire tree, where the
depth represents the distance (in nodes) to the root. Then, the width
represents the number of occurrences of each possible depth. The maximal
width then returns the maximum number of such occurences.

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>.
