Here is a solution to identify the unique topologies in your dataset and then average some quantity over them. Let us know if it works:

Hi Liam,

Thanks for this. Yes, it looked back at the script and it is actually a data 
frame. I realized my question wasn't clear. Th second column has the actual 
trees as each entry (not just A, B, C, etc), which I suppose makes it more 
complicated--isn't an RF.dist/multiRF call needed?

Best,

~John

Subject: Re: [R-sig-phylo] identify duplicate topologies and add corresponding 
values

Hi John.

This would have to be a data frame (not a matrix) as you could not have
different data types in your matrix. Try the function aggregate, e.g.:

obj<-data.frame(number=c(1,1.5,0.2,0.8,1.0,3.2),
         tree=factor(c("A","A","B","C","A","B")))
obj ## data frame
aggregate(obj$number,by=list(obj$tree),sum)

Hi all,

I have a two-column matrix, containing trees in one column and a numeric value 
associated with each tree in the other column. I would like to go through the 
list to identify any duplicated topologies, and for each set of duplicates sum 
the corresponding numeric values and prune away the duplicate trees.

For example,

1.0   A
1.5   A
0.2  B
0.8.  C
1.0.  A
3.2.  B

Would become

3.5.  A
3.4. B
0.8.  C

Any help would be great!

Thanks,

~John
