tree_height

In a reconstructed tree, obtaining the tree height is fairly
straightforward, and the function beautier::get_crown_age does a great job
at it. However, in a non-ultrametric tree, that function no longer works.
Alternatively, taking the maximum value of adephylo::distRoot will also yield
the tree height (including the root branch), but will typically perform
many superfluous calculations and thus be slow.

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>.
