TrivialSplits: Identify and remove trivial splits

Description

TrivialSplits() identifies trivial splits (which separate one or zero leaves from all others); WithoutTrivialSplits() removes them from a Splits object.

Usage

TrivialSplits(splits, nTip = attr(splits, "nTip"))
WithoutTrivialSplits(splits, nTip = attr(splits, "nTip"))

Value

TrivialSplits() returns a logical vector specifying whether each split in splits is trivial, i.e. includes or excludes only a single tip or no tips at all.

WithoutTrivialSplits() returns a Splits object with trivial splits removed.

Arguments

splits

An object of class Splits.

nTip

Integer specifying number of tips (leaves).
