quartetStarTest

Perform hypothesis test for star tree for a vector of quartet counts to fit expected frequencies of (1/3,1/3,1/3).
The test performed is a standard Chi-square with 2 degrees of freedom.

Methods for analyzing and using quartets displayed on a collection
of gene trees, primarily to make inferences about the species tree or network
under the multi-species coalescent model. These include quartet hypothesis tests
for the model, as developed by Mitchell et al. (2019) <doi:10.1214/19-EJS1576>,
simplex plots of quartet concordance factors as presented by Allman et al. (2020)

distances of Rhodes (2019) <doi:10.1109/TCBB.2019.2917204> and Yourdkhani and
Rhodes (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11538-020-00773-4>, the NANUQ algorithm for inference
of level-1 species networks of Allman et al. (2019) <doi:10.1186/s13015-019-0159-2>,
the TINNIK algorithm for inference of the tree of blobs of an arbitrary
network of Allman et al.(2022) <doi:10.1007/s00285-022-01838-9>, and
NANUQ+ routines for resolving multifurcations in the tree of blobs to cycles as in
Allman et al.(2024) (forthcoming).
