| Parameters
| | Name | Type | Description |
|
| t
| Tree | the given tree |
| t
| matrix(numeric) | alternatively, the distances over the tree |
| Dist
| matrix(numeric) | distance matrix |
| Var

| Return Type
| nonnegative |
| Synopsis
| This function computes the Dimensionless fitting index
of a set of distances over a tree as in "A Dimensionless Fit Measure for
Phylogenetic Distance Trees", J Bioinform Comput Biol, vol 3, pp 1429-1440.
Trees built over the same set of species, even with radically
different methods, can be ranked by the quality of their fit with
this index.
The input can be a tree (which is converted to an actual distance matrix
with the Tree_matrix) or an actual distance matrix.
The input matrices Dist and Var are the distance measured between the
species and their variance. |
