skbio.tree.TreeNode.tip_tip_distances#

TreeNode.tip_tip_distances(endpoints=None)[source]#

Return distance matrix between pairs of tips, and a tip order.

By default, all pairwise distances are calculated in the tree. If endpoints are specified, then only the distances between those tips are computed.

Parameters:

endpointslist of TreeNode or str, or None: A list of TreeNode objects or names of TreeNode objects

Returns:

DistanceMatrix: The distance matrix

Raises:

ValueError: If any of the specified endpoints are not tips

Notes

If a node does not have an associated length, 0.0 will be used and a RepresentationWarning will be raised.

Examples

>>> from skbio import TreeNode
>>> tree = TreeNode.read(["((a:1,b:2)c:3,(d:4,e:5)f:6)root;"])
>>> mat = tree.tip_tip_distances()
>>> print(mat)
