NPartitionPairs {TreeTools} | R Documentation |
Distributions of tips consistent with a partition pair
Description
NPartitionPairs()
calculates the number of terminal arrangements matching
a specified configuration of two splits.
Usage
NPartitionPairs(configuration)
Arguments
configuration |
Integer vector of length four specifying the number of terminals that occur in both (1) splits A1 and A2; (2) splits A1 and B2; (3) splits B1 and A2; (4) splits B1 and B2. |
Details
Consider splits that divide eight terminals, labelled A to H.
Bipartition 1: | ABCD:EFGH | A1 = ABCD | B1 = EFGH |
Bipartition 2: | ABE:CDFGH | A2 = ABE | B2 = CDFGH |
This can be represented by an association matrix:
A2 | B2 | |
A1 | AB | C |
B1 | E | FGH |
The cells in this matrix contain 2, 1, 1 and 3 terminals respectively; this
four-element vector (c(2, 1, 1, 3)
) is the configuration
implied by
this pair of bipartition splits.
Value
The number of ways to distribute sum(configuration)
taxa according
to the specified pattern.
