Hi all, I'm using the ape package, and was wondering if there was a method in the package or code for calculating the diameter
(http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GraphDiameter.html) of phylogenetic tree objects. I had been looking in to exporting trees from ape into a graph theory package (igraph), but it looks like it would be more difficult to write a file conversion script than to try something in ape itself. Also, I have tried installing the phybase package from CRAN but keep getting errors. Does anyone have or know of a good script for calculating Robinson-Foulds differences for phy objects? Thanks! ~J -- "ORGANIC LIFE beneath the shoreless waves Was born and nurs'd in ocean's pearly caves; First forms minute, unseen by spheric glass, Move on the mud, or pierce the watery mass; These, as successive generations bloom, New powers acquire and larger limbs assume; Whence countless groups of vegetation spring, And breathing realms of fin and feet and wing." ~Erasmus Darwin, The Temple of Nature Canto I.V _______________________________________________ R-sig-phylo mailing list R-sig-phylo@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-phylo
