tropical.KDE: Tropical Kernel Density Estimation of Phylogenetic Trees

Description

This function calculates a non-parametric density estimate of a tree over the space of phylogenetic trees on m leaves. It mimics classical kernel density estimation by using a Gaussian kernel in conjunction with tropical distance.

Usage

tropical.KDE(D, n, sigma, h = 2)

Value

list containing center point and radius of minimum enclosing ball of P

Arguments

D

matrix of phylogenetic tree observations as ultrametrics

n

number of leaves for each tree

sigma

bandwidth parameter based on tropical distance

h

height of the tree
