R: Clade sizes

CladeSizes {TreeTools} | R Documentation

## Clade sizes

### Description

`CladeSizes()` reports the number of nodes in each clade in a tree.

### Usage

    CladeSizes(tree, internal = FALSE, nodes = NULL)

### Arguments

`tree` | A tree of class `phylo`.
`internal` | Logical specifying whether internal nodes should be counted towards the size of each clade.
`nodes` | Integer specifying indices of nodes at the base of clades whose sizes should be returned. If unspecified, counts will be provided for all nodes (including leaves).

### Value

`CladeSizes()` returns the number of nodes (including leaves) that are descended from each node, not including the node itself.
