"Rogue" implements approaches to identify rogue taxa in phylogenetic analysis.

Rogues are wildcard leaves whose uncertain position reduces the resolution of

consensus trees. Consensus trees that omit rogue taxa can be more informative.

"Rogue" allows the user to select a concept of "information" by which the

quality of consensus trees should be evaluated, and a heuristic approach

by which rogue taxa should be identified.

Rogue detection using the phylogenetic and clustering information content

measures (Smith, 2022) is implemented using a quick heuristic that drops

the least "stable" leaves one at a time,

using an _ad hoc_ definition of stability (Smith, 2022);

and by a more exhaustive (and time-consuming) approach that considers dropping

all possible sets of up to _n_ leaves (Aberer _et al._ 2013).

The latter heuristic is implemented for the relative bipartition 

"information" content and Pattengale's criterion

_via_ [RogueNaRok](https://rnr.h-its.org/about) (Aberer _et al._ 2013).

# Installation

Install and load the stable version from CRAN as normal:

```r

install.packages("Rogue")

library("Rogue")

```

Alternatively, install the development version from GitHub with 

```r

devtools::install_github("ms609/Rogue", args = "--recursive")

```

(Requires [git](https://git-scm.com/) to be installed and added to

your PATH system environment variable; you may also require the "curl" R package.)
