Usage: qiime phylogeny robinson-foulds [OPTIONS] Calculate the Robinson-Foulds symmetric difference metric between two or more phylogenetic trees. Inputs: --i-trees ARTIFACTS... List[Phylogeny[Rooted | Unrooted]] Phylogenetic trees to compare with Robinson-Foulds. Rooting information and branch lengths are ignored by this metric. [required] Parameters: --p-labels TEXT... Labels to use for the tree names in the distance List[Str] matrix. If ommited, labels will be "tree_n" where "n" ranges from 1..N. The number of labels must match the number of trees. [optional] --p-missing-tips TEXT Choices('error', 'intersect-all') How to handle tips that are not shared between trees. "error" will raise an error if the set of tips is not identical between all input trees. "intersect-all" will remove tips that are not shared between all trees before computing distances beteen trees. [default: 'error'] Outputs: --o-distance-matrix ARTIFACT DistanceMatrix The distances between trees as a symmetric matrix. [required] Miscellaneous: --output-dir PATH Output unspecified results to a directory --verbose / --quiet Display verbose output to stdout and/or stderr during execution of this action. Or silence output if execution is successful (silence is golden). --example-data PATH Write example data and exit. --citations Show citations and exit. --use-cache DIRECTORY Specify the cache to be used for the intermediate work of this action. If not provided, the default cache under $TMP/qiime2/will be used. IMPORTANT FOR HPC USERS: If you are on an HPC system and are using parallel execution it is important to set this to a location that is globally accessible to all nodes in the cluster. --help Show this message and exit.

Calculate Robinson-Foulds distance between phylogenetic trees. Calculate the Robinson-Foulds symmetric difference metric between two or more phylogenetic trees. Parameters ---------- trees : List[Phylogeny[Rooted | Unrooted]] Phylogenetic trees to compare with Robinson-Foulds. Rooting information and branch lengths are ignored by this metric. labels : List[Str], optional Labels to use for the tree names in the distance matrix. If ommited, labels will be "tree_n" where "n" ranges from 1..N. The number of labels must match the number of trees. missing_tips : Str % Choices('error', 'intersect-all'), optional How to handle tips that are not shared between trees. "error" will raise an error if the set of tips is not identical between all input trees. "intersect-all" will remove tips that are not shared between all trees before computing distances beteen trees. Returns ------- distance_matrix : DistanceMatrix The distances between trees as a symmetric matrix.
