Hi all,

To complete this discussion, the package distory computes Billera et
al.'s geodesic distance between two trees.

Cheers,

Emmanuel

There is also SH.test (Shimodaira-Hasegawa test) in package phangorn

And the Icong index by de Vienne which only compares topology (See this 
website: http://www.ese.u-psud.fr/utilisateurs/devienne/index.html)

Hi Alastair,
See these functions below, dist.topo is in library(Ape)

Cheers,

# check for similarity

# do the two trees produced by MrBayes and raxML have the same topology?

all.equal(tree1, tree2, use.edge.length = FALSE)

# result = TRUE or FALSE.


# calculate the distance between the two tree, using default method. ( Penny
and HardyÂ’s 1985)

dist.topo(tree1, tree2)

# result = numeric measure of distance

Good day all,
I was wondering if there is a tree statistic that compares the topology of
two trees which gives and indication of the degree of similarity or
dissimilarity between the trees?
Cheers,
Alastair
