Bio::Tree::Statistics - Calculate certain statistics for a Tree

  use Bio::Tree::Statistics;

This should be where Tree statistics are calculated. It was previously where statistics from a Coalescent simulation.

It now contains several methods for calculating Tree-Trait statistics.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $obj = Bio::Tree::Statistics->new();
 Function: Builds a new Bio::Tree::Statistics object 
 Returns : Bio::Tree::Statistics
 Args    :

 Title   : assess_bootstrap
 Usage   : my $tree_with_bs = $stats->assess_bootstrap(\@bs_trees,$guide_tree);
 Function: Calculates the bootstrap for internal nodes based on the percentage
           of times \@bs_trees agree with each internal node
 Returns : L<Bio::Tree::TreeI>
 Args    : Arrayref of L<Bio::Tree::TreeI>s
           Guide tree, L<Bio::Tree::TreeI>s

  Example    : cherries($tree, $node);
  Description: Count number of paired leaf nodes
               in a binary tree
  Returns    : integer
  Exceptions : 
  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Commonly used statistics assume a binary tree, but this methods returns a value even for trees with polytomies.

The following methods produce descriptors of trait distribution among leaf nodes within the trees. They require that a trait has been set for each leaf node. The tag methods of Bio::Tree::Node are used to store them as key/value pairs. In this way, one tree can store more than one trait.

Trees have method add_traits() to set trait values from a file. See the add_trait() method in Bio::Tree::TreeFunctionsI.

  Example    : fitch($tree, $key, $node);
  Description: Calculates Parsimony Score (PS) and internal trait
               values using the Fitch 1971 parsimony algorithm for
               the subtree a defined by the (internal) node.
               Node defaults to the root.
  Returns    : true on success
  Exceptions : leaf nodes have to have the trait defined
  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. trait name string
               3. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Runs first fitch_up that calculates parsimony scores and then fitch_down that should resolve most of the trait/character state ambiguities.

Fitch, W.M., 1971. Toward defining the course of evolution: minimal change for a specific tree topology. Syst. Zool. 20, 406-416.

You can access calculated parsimony values using:

  $score = $node->->get_tag_values('ps_score');

and the trait value with:

  $traitvalue = $node->->get_tag_values('ps_trait'); # only the first
  @traitvalues = $node->->get_tag_values('ps_trait');

Note that there can be more that one trait value, especially for the root node.

  Example    : ps($tree, $key, $node);
  Description: Calculates Parsimony Score (PS) from Fitch 1971
               parsimony algorithm for the subtree as defined
               by the (internal) node.
               Node defaults to the root.
  Returns    : integer, 1 < PS < n, where n is number of branches
  Exceptions : leaf nodes have to have the trait defined
  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. trait name string
               3. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

This is the first half of the Fitch algorithm that is enough for calculating the resolved parsimony values. The trait/chararacter states are commonly left in ambiguous state. To resolve them, run fitch_down.

  Example    : fitch_up($tree, $key, $node);
  Description: Calculates Parsimony Score (PS) from the Fitch 1971
               parsimony algorithm for the subtree as defined
               by the (internal) node.
               Node defaults to the root.
  Returns    : integer, 1< PS < n, where n is number of branches
  Exceptions : leaf nodes have to have the trait defined
  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. trait name string
               3. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

This is a more generic name for ps and indicates that it performs the first bottom-up tree traversal that calculates the parsimony score but usually leaves trait/character states ambiguous. If you are interested in internal trait states, running fitch_down should resolve most of the ambiguities.

  Example    : fitch_down($tree, $node);
  Description: Runs the second pass from Fitch 1971
               parsimony algorithm to resolve ambiguous
               trait states left by first pass.
               by the (internal) node.
               Node defaults to the root.
  Returns    : true
  Exceptions : dies unless the trait is defined in all nodes
  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Before running this method you should have ran fitch_up (alias to ps ). Note that it is not guaranteed that all states are completely resolved.

  Example    : persistence($tree, $node);
  Description: Calculates the persistence
               for node in the subtree defined by the (internal)
               node.  Node defaults to the root.
  Returns    : int, number of generations trait value has to remain same
  Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Persistence measures the stability that the trait value has in a tree. It expresses the number of generations the trait value remains the same. All the decendants of the root in the same generation have to share the same value.

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

  Example    : count_clusters($tree, $node);
  Description: Calculates the number of sub-clusters
               in the subtree defined by the (internal)
               node.  Node defaults to the root.
  Returns    : int, count
  Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

  Example    : count_leaves($tree, $node);

               value as root in the subtree defined by the (internal)
               node.  Requires an unbroken line of identical trait values.
               Node defaults to the root.
  Returns    : int, number of leaves with this trait value
  Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

  Example    : phylotype_length($tree, $node);
  Description: Sums up the branch lengths within phylotype
               exluding the subclusters where the trait values
               are different
  Returns    : float, length
  Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

  Example    : sum_of_leaf_distances($tree, $node);
  Description: Sums up the branch lengths from root to leaf
               exluding the subclusters where the trait values
               are different
  Returns    : float, length
  Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

  Example    : genetic_diversity($tree, $node);
  Description: Diversity is the sum of root to leaf distances
               within the phylotype normalised by number of leaf
               nodes
  Returns    : float, value of genetic diversity
  Exceptions : all the  nodes need to have the trait defined
  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Depends on Fitch's parsimony score (PS).

  Example    : statratio($tree, $node);
  Description: Ratio of the stem length and the genetic diversity of the
               phylotype L<genetic_diversity>

  Args       : 1. Bio::Tree::TreeI object
               2. Bio::Tree::NodeI object within the tree, optional

Statratio gives a measure of separation and variability within the phylotype. Larger values identify more rapidly evolving and recent phylotypes.

  Description: Calculates the Association Index (AI) of Whang et

  Association index (AI) gives a more fine grained results than PS since
  the result is a real number. ~0 E<lt>= AI.
