A height-based metaconcept for rooted tree balance and its implications for the index
Mareike Fischer, Tom Niklas Hamann, Kristina Wicke
Tree balance has received considerable attention in recent years, both in phylogenetics and in other areas. Numerous (im)balance indices have been proposed to quantify the (im)bala…
Revealing the building blocks of tree balance: fundamental units of the Sackin and Colless Indices
Linda Knüver, Mareike Fischer
(Im)balance indices can be used to quantify the (im)balance of trees by assigning numerical scores to them. An easy way to generate a new index is to construct a compound index, e.…
The GFB Tree and Tree Imbalance Indices
Sean Cleary, Mareike Fischer, Katherine St. John
Tree balance plays an important role in various research areas in phylogenetics and computer science. Typically, it is measured with the help of a balance index or imbalance index.…
Metaconcepts of rooted tree balance
Mareike Fischer, Tom Niklas Hamann, Kristina Wicke
Measures of tree balance play an important role in many different research areas such as mathematical phylogenetics or theoretical computer science. Typically, tree balance is quan…
