makeL {RRphylo}

Matrix of branch lengths along root-to-tip paths

Description

This function produces a n * m matrix, where n=number of tips and m=number of branches (i.e. n + number of nodes). Each row represents the branch lengths aligned along a root-to-tip path.

Usage

makeL(tree)

Arguments

tree

a phylogenetic tree. The tree needs not to be ultrametric and fully dichotomous.

Value

The function returns a n * m matrix of branch lengths for all root-to-tip paths in the tree (one per species).
