diameter

The Diameter of a tree is defined as the maximum length of a
shortest path. When taking branch lengths into account, this is equal to
twice the crown age.
When the tree is unrooted, we add 1 to the unweighted diameter, to reflect
traversing the (virtual) root.

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>.
