calcRF - Finds the Robinson-Fould’s cluster distance between phylogenies.

Description

calcRF Calculates the RF distance between two phylogenetic trees with the same tips and tip labels.

Usage

calcRF(tree_1, tree_2, nproc = 1, normalize = FALSE, include_root = TRUE)

Arguments

tree_1
A phylo object
tree_2
A phylo object
nproc
Number of cores to use for calculations.
normalize
Normalize RF by maximum RF distance
include_root
If TRUE include root split in denominator when normalize=TRUE. If FALSE root split won’t be counted as a possible split if trees are rooted at same tip.

Value

The RF cluster value for the two input trees.
