ape2timeR Documentation

Convert tree from 'phylo' format (ape) to event time format.

Description

Extract branching and sampling times from a tree in the native ape format.

Usage

ape2time(tree, eps = 0.0)

Arguments

tree

Tree in 'phylo' format.

eps

Error tolerance for the present time (see Details).

Details

In some cases R doesn't handle mathematical operations quite well and it can happen that tip ages are calculated as 10^-14 or similar instead of 0.0. 'eps' defines the tolerance for what is considered extant at the present (tip age < eps).
