mvr {ape} | R Documentation |
Phylogenetic tree construction based on the minimum variance reduction.
mvr(X, V) mvrs(X, V, fs = 15)
X |
a distance matrix. |
V |
a variance matrix. |
fs |
agglomeration criterion parameter. |
The MVR method can be seen as a version of BIONJ which is not restricted to the Poison model of variance (Gascuel 2000).
