This should be where Tree statistics are calculated. It was previously where statistics from a Coalescent simulation.

It now contains several methods for calculating "Tree-Trait statistics".

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $obj = Bio::Tree::Statistics->new();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Tree::Statistics object 
Returns : Bio::Tree::Statistics
Args    :

assess_bootstrap

Title   : assess_bootstrap
Usage   : my $tree_with_bs = $stats->assess_bootstrap(\@bs_trees,$guide_tree);

          of times \@bs_trees agree with each internal node
Returns : L<Bio::Tree::TreeI>
Args    : Arrayref of L<Bio::Tree::TreeI>s
          Guide tree, L<Bio::Tree::TreeI>s

cherries

Example    : cherries($tree, $node);
Description: Count number of paired leaf nodes
             in a binary tree
Returns    : integer
Exceptions : 
Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Commonly used statistics assume a binary tree, but this methods returns a value even for trees with polytomies.

Tree-Trait statistics

The following methods produce descriptors of trait distribution among leaf nodes within the trees. They require that a trait has been set for each leaf node. The tag methods of Bio::Tree::Node are used to store them as key/value pairs. In this way, one tree can store more than one trait.

Trees have method add_traits() to set trait values from a file. See the add_trait() method in Bio::Tree::TreeFunctionsI.

fitch

Example    : fitch($tree, $key, $node);
Description: Calculates Parsimony Score (PS) and internal trait
             values using the Fitch 1971 parsimony algorithm for
             the subtree a defined by the (internal) node.
             Node defaults to the root.
Returns    : true on success
Exceptions : leaf nodes have to have the trait defined
Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. trait name string
             3. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Runs first fitch_up that calculates parsimony scores and then fitch_down that should resolve most of the trait/character state ambiguities.

Fitch, W.M., 1971. Toward defining the course of evolution: minimal change for a specific tree topology. Syst. Zool. 20, 406-416.

You can access calculated parsimony values using:

$score = $node->->get_tag_values('ps_score');

and the trait value with:

$traitvalue = $node->->get_tag_values('ps_trait'); # only the first
@traitvalues = $node->->get_tag_values('ps_trait');

Note that there can be more that one trait value, especially for the root node.

ps

Example    : ps($tree, $key, $node);
Description: Calculates Parsimony Score (PS) from Fitch 1971
             parsimony algorithm for the subtree as defined
             by the (internal) node.
             Node defaults to the root.
Returns    : integer, 1 < PS < n, where n is number of branches
Exceptions : leaf nodes have to have the trait defined
Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. trait name string
             3. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

This is the first half of the Fitch algorithm that is enough for calculating the resolved parsimony values. The trait/chararacter states are commonly left in ambiguous state. To resolve them, run fitch_down.

fitch_up

Example    : fitch_up($tree, $key, $node);
Description: Calculates Parsimony Score (PS) from the Fitch 1971
             parsimony algorithm for the subtree as defined
             by the (internal) node.
             Node defaults to the root.
Returns    : integer, 1< PS < n, where n is number of branches
Exceptions : leaf nodes have to have the trait defined
Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. trait name string
             3. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

This is a more generic name for ps and indicates that it performs the first bottom-up tree traversal that calculates the parsimony score but usually leaves trait/character states ambiguous. If you are interested in internal trait states, running fitch_down should resolve most of the ambiguities.

fitch_down

Example    : fitch_down($tree, $node);
Description: Runs the second pass from Fitch 1971
             parsimony algorithm to resolve ambiguous
             trait states left by first pass.
             by the (internal) node.
             Node defaults to the root.
Returns    : true
Exceptions : dies unless the trait is defined in all nodes
Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Before running this method you should have ran fitch_up (alias to ps ). Note that it is not guaranteed that all states are completely resolved.

persistence

Example    : persistence($tree, $node);
Description: Calculates the persistence
             for node in the subtree defined by the (internal)
             node.  Node defaults to the root.
Returns    : int, number of generations trait value has to remain same
Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Persistence measures the stability that the trait value has in a tree. It expresses the number of generations the trait value remains the same. All the decendants of the root in the same generation have to share the same value.

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

count_subclusters

Example    : count_clusters($tree, $node);
Description: Calculates the number of sub-clusters
             in the subtree defined by the (internal)
             node.  Node defaults to the root.

Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

count_leaves

Example    : count_leaves($tree, $node);
Description: Calculates the number of leaves with same trait
             value as root in the subtree defined by the (internal)
             node.  Requires an unbroken line of identical trait values.
             Node defaults to the root.
Returns    : int, number of leaves with this trait value
Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

phylotype_length

Example    : phylotype_length($tree, $node);
Description: Sums up the branch lengths within phylotype
             excluding the subclusters where the trait values
             are different
Returns    : float, length
Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

sum_of_leaf_distances

Example    : sum_of_leaf_distances($tree, $node);

Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

genetic_diversity

Example    : genetic_diversity($tree, $node);
Description: Diversity is the sum of root to leaf distances
             within the phylotype normalised by number of leaf
             nodes
Returns    : float, value of genetic diversity
Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

statratio

Example    : statratio($tree, $node);
Description: Ratio of the stem length and the genetic diversity of the
             phylotype L<genetic_diversity>
Returns    : float, separation score
Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
             2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Statratio gives a measure of separation and variability within the phylotype. Larger values identify more rapidly evolving and recent phylotypes.

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

Example    : ai($tree, $key, $node);
Description: Calculates the Association Index (AI) of Whang et

             2. trait name string

Association index (AI) gives a more fine grained results than PS since
the result is a real number. ~0 E<lt>= AI.
