A Fast Algorithm for Computing Geodesic Distances in Tree Space

A Fast Algorithm for Computing Geodesic Distances in Tree Space

Comparing and computing distances between phylogenetic trees are important biological problems, especially for models where edge lengths play an important role. The geodesic distance measure between two phylogenetic trees with edge lengths is the length of the shortest path between them in the continuous tree space introduced by Billera, Holmes, …
