Returns the branch length distance between two trees.
Usage
calcDstBLD(tree_1, tree_2, nrmlsd = FALSE, parallel = FALSE, progress = "none")
Arguments
- tree_1
TreeMan object
- tree_2
TreeMan object
- nrmlsd
Boolean, should returned value be between 0 and 1? Default, FALSE.
- parallel
logical, make parallel?
- progress
name of the progress bar to use, see create_progress_bar
Details
BLD is the Robinson-Foulds distance weighted by branch length. Instead of summing
the differences in partitions between the two trees, the metric takes the square root
of the squared difference in branch lengths. Parallelizable.
