Computing distances between evolutionary trees
Publication
Publication
In this chapter, we survey some results on some transformation-based distances for evolutionary trees. The authors will focus on the nearest-neighbor distance and a closely related distance called the subtree-transfer distance used in dealing with evolutionary histories involving events like recombinations or gene conversions; some variants of these distances will also be discussed.
