Class BilleraMetric

java.lang.Object
jebl.evolution.treemetrics.BilleraMetric
All Implemented Interfaces:
RootedTreeMetric
public class BilleraMetric extends Object implements RootedTreeMetric
Billera tree distance - sum of change in branch lengths required to transform one tree to the second Note that this interface is not optimal for a large set where all pairs are required. Creating TreeBiPartitionInfo's as a pre step is better unless memory is an issue.
