| EdgeAncestry {TreeTools} | R Documentation |
Quickly identify edges that are 'ancestral' to a particular edge in a tree.
EdgeAncestry(edge, parent, child, stopAt = (parent == min(parent)))
edge |
Integer specifying the number of the edge whose child edges should be returned. |
parent |
Integer vector corresponding to the first column of the edge
matrix of a tree of class |
child |
Integer vector corresponding to the second column of the edge
matrix of a tree of class |
stopAt |
Integer or logical vector specifying the edge(s) at which to terminate the search; defaults to the edges with the smallest parent, which will be the root edges if nodes are numbered Cladewise or in Preorder. |
EdgeAncestry() returns a logical vector stating whether each edge
in turn is a descendant of the specified edge.
