kdetrees

Non-parametric method for identifying discordant phylogenetic trees

A non-parametric method for identifying potential outlying observations in a collection of phylogenetic trees based on the methods of Owen and Provan (2011). Such discordant trees may indicate problems with sequence annotation or tree reconstruction, or they may represent interesting biological phenomena, such as horizontal gene transfers.
