4.7 BppConsense: Bio++ Consensus Trees

Probably one of the simplest program to use in the suite, just takes a list of trees (for instance produced by BppML, BppDist or BppPars with the bootstrap option enabled) and compute bootstrap values for a reference tree, provided as input, or constructed using a consensus method. The program uses the multiple-trees reading options for input (see Tree) and single-tree writing options for output.

There are only specific options here:

tree = {tree methods}

The method to use for getting the reference tree. Available function are:

Input

The tree is loaded using the single-tree reading options (see Tree).

Consensus(threshold = {int[0,1]})

Build a consensus tree according to a given threshold. 0 will output a fully resolved tree, 0.5 corresponds to the majority rule and 1 to the strict consensus, but any intermediate value can be specified.
