Phylogenetics via Root Distances Method Under the Coalescent
Overview
Estimates phylogenetic trees from allele count data using the root distance method under the Coalescent Model. Given a matrix of allele counts across taxa and loci, the package estimates pairwise root distances under the Coalescent Model using maximum likelihood estimation. Then, it estimates a labeled phylogenetic tree from the estimated root distances. See Peng et al. (2021) doi:10.1016/j.ympev.2021.107142.
