## Bethe Tree

### Description

Generates a Bethe tree with given tips, inner edge lengths, and outgroup.

### Usage

    bethe.tree(tips, level.lengths = NULL, outgroup="O", outgroup.dist=1)

### Arguments

`tips` | A list of tip names as a character vector. Should be a power of 2. All tip names must be distinct.
`level.lengths` | Edge lengths for each level, counted from the bottom up. NULL means a default of 1. If the vector isn't long enough, the last value will be repeated as necessary.
`outgroup` | The tip label for the outgroup.
`outgroup.dist` | The distance of the outgroup from the root.
