TBR {TreeSearch}

Tree bisection and reconnection (TBR)

Description

TBR performs a single random TBR iteration.

Usage

TBR(tree, edgeToBreak = NULL, mergeEdges = NULL)

TBRMoves(tree, edgeToBreak = integer(0))

## S3 method for class 'phylo'
TBRMoves(tree, edgeToBreak = integer(0))

## S3 method for class 'matrix'
TBRMoves(tree, edgeToBreak = integer(0))

TBRSwap(
  parent,
  child,
  nEdge = length(parent),
  edgeToBreak = NULL,
  mergeEdges = NULL
)

RootedTBR(tree, edgeToBreak = NULL, mergeEdges = NULL)

RootedTBRSwap(
  parent,
  child,
  nEdge = length(parent),
  edgeToBreak = NULL,
  mergeEdges = NULL
)

Arguments

tree

A bifurcating tree of class phylo, with all nodes resolved;

edgeToBreak

(optional) integer specifying the index of an edge to bisect/prune, generated randomly if not specified. Alternatively, set to -1 to return a complete list of all trees one step from the input tree.

mergeEdges

(optional) vector of length 1 or 2, listing edge(s) to be joined: In SPR, this is where the pruned subtree will be reconnected. In TBR, these edges will be reconnected (so must be on opposite sides of edgeToBreak); if only a single edge is specified, the second will be chosen at random

parent

Integer vector corresponding to the first column of the edge matrix of a tree of class phylo, i.e. tree$edge[, 1].

child

Integer vector corresponding to the second column of the edge matrix of a tree of class phylo, i.e. tree$edge[, 2].

nEdge

(optional) Number of edges.

Details

Branch lengths are not (yet) supported.

All nodes in a tree must be bifurcating; ape::collapse.singles and ape::multi2di may help.

Value

TBR() returns a tree in phyDat format that has undergone one TBR iteration.

TBRMoves() returns a multiPhylo object listing all trees one TBR move away from tree, with edges and nodes in preorder, rooted on the first-labelled tip.

TBRSwap() returns a list containing two elements corresponding to the rearranged parent and child parameters.

Functions

• TBRSwap(): faster version that takes and returns parent and child parameters

• RootedTBR(): Perform TBR rearrangement, retaining position of root

• RootedTBRSwap(): faster version that takes and returns parent and child parameters
