stairs2

Calculates the stairs2 measure, from the phyloTop package. The
stairs2 reflects the imbalance at each node, where it represents the average
across measure at each node, the measure being min(l, r) / max(l, r), where
l and r reflect the number of tips connected at the left (l) and right (r)
daughter.

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>.
