Description

Calculates the number of four-taxon subtrees consistent with a pair of cladograms, calculating the symmetric quartet distance of Bandelt & Dress (1986), Reconstructing the shape of a tree from observed dissimilarity data, Advances in Applied Mathematics <doi:10.1016/0196-8858(86)90038-2>, using the tqDist algorithm of Sand et al. (2014), tqDist: a library for computing the quartet and triplet distances between binary or general trees, Bioinformatics <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btu157> for pairs of binary trees; calculating the rooted triplet distance using the CPDT algorithm of Jansson & Rajaby (2017), A more practical algorithm for the rooted triplet distance, Journal of Computational Biology <doi:10.1089/cmb.2016.0185>.
