mean_pair_dist {treestats} | R Documentation |
Mean Pairwise distance
Description
Fast function using C++ to calculate the mean pairwise distance, using the fast algorithm by Constantinos, Sandel & Cheliotis (2012).
Usage
mean_pair_dist(phy, normalization = "none")
Arguments
phy |
phylo object or ltable |
normalization |
"none" or "tips", in which case the obtained mean pairwise distance is normalized by the factor 2log(n), where n is the number of tips. |
Value
Mean pairwise distance
