Here (eventually/maybe) you will find documentation about PD.
Written in C++, PD provides tools to
- analyse Phylogenetic Diversity of phylogenetic trees and targeted portions thereof.
- It also generates simulated trees using birth death process etc, and
- simulates the process They will run on any system that will compile the sources.
Code uses the Standard Template Library.
Configuration files are provided for cmake so it can be compiled and run on many operating systems.
At the moment (Sep 2017), it is entirely old school in that it is a command line tool outputting a csv formatted file, and phylogenetic trees in a newick form.
But it is written in a totally modular way and can/will be called from R and Python (when I get some time and opportunity).
Further documentation will be added as I write it to the project wiki
