calcFrPrp {treeman} | R Documentation

## Calculate evolutionary distinctness

### Description

Returns the evolutationary distinctness of ids using the fair proportion metric.

### Usage

    calcFrPrp(tree, tids, progress = "none")

### Arguments

`tree` | `TreeMan` object
`tids` | tip IDs
`progress` | name of the progress bar to use, see `create_progress_bar`

### Details

The fair proportion metric calculates the evolutionary distinctness of tips in a tree through summing the total amount of branch length each tip represents, where each branch in the tree is evenly divided between all descendants. Parallelizable.
