The asymptotic distribution of the $k$-Robinson-Foulds dissimilarity
measure on labelled trees
Motivated by applications in medical bioinformatics, Khayatian et al. (2024) introduced a family of metrics on Cayley trees (the $k$-RF distance, for $k=0, \ldots, n-2$) and explored their distribution on pairs of random Cayley trees via simulations. In this paper, we investigate this distribution mathematically, and derive exact asymptotic descriptions …
