Returns the evolutationary distinctness of ids using the fair proportion metric.
Details
The fair proportion metric calculates the evolutionary distinctness of tips in a tree through summing the total amount of branch length each tip represents, where each branch in the tree is evenly divided between all descendants. Parallelizable.
