This function implements the SDM method of Criscuolo et al. (2006) for a set of n distance matrices.
SDM(...)
a 2-element list containing a distance matrix labelled by the union of the set of taxa of the input distance matrices, and a variance matrix associated to the returned distance matrix.
2n elements (with n > 1), the first n elements are the
distance matrices: these can be (symmetric) matrices, objects of
class "dist"
, or a mix of both. The next n elements are the
sequence length from which the matrices have been estimated (can be
seen as a degree of confidence in matrices).
Andrei Popescu
Reconstructs a consensus distance matrix from a set of input distance
matrices on overlapping sets of taxa. Potentially missing values in
the supermatrix are represented by NA
. An error is returned if
the input distance matrices can not resolve to a consensus matrix.
