# TotalCopheneticIndex
R package implementing the Total Cophenetic Index measure of Mir _et al._ (2013).
This package is now simply a wrapper for the function `TotalCopheneticIndex()`
in the package '[TreeTools](https://ms609.github.io/TreeTools/)'.

The total cophenetic index describes how balanced a phylogenetic tree is,
by measuring the how deep the most recent common ancestor of each pair of leaves
lies within the tree.

# See also

This functionality is now available via the function [`TotalCopheneticIndex()`](https://ms609.github.io/TreeTools/reference/TotalCopheneticIndex.html) in the
'[TreeTools](https://ms609.github.io/TreeTools/)' package, and via Rotger's
(unmaintained?) package
'[CollessLike](https://github.com/LuciaRotger/CollessLike)'.
