Rogue

Codecov test coverage CRAN Status Badge CRAN Downloads DOI Project Status: Inactive – The project has reached a stable, usable state but is no longer being actively developed; support/maintenance will be provided as time allows.

"Rogue" implements approaches to identify rogue taxa in phylogenetic analysis. Rogues are wildcard leaves whose uncertain position reduces the resolution of consensus trees. Consensus trees that omit rogue taxa can be more informative.

"Rogue" allows the user to select a concept of "information" by which the quality of consensus trees should be evaluated, and a heuristic approach by which rogue taxa should be identified.

Rogue detection using the phylogenetic and clustering information content measures (Smith, 2022) is implemented using a quick heuristic that drops the least "stable" leaves one at a time, using an ad hoc definition of stability (Smith, 2022); and by a more exhaustive (and time-consuming) approach that considers dropping all possible sets of up to n leaves (Aberer et al. 2013).

The latter heuristic is implemented for the relative bipartition "information" content and Pattengale's criterion via RogueNaRok (Aberer et al. 2013).

Detecting rogue taxa with information theory

Installation

Install and load the stable version from CRAN as normal: r install.packages("Rogue") library("Rogue")

Alternatively, install the development version from GitHub with r devtools::install_github("ms609/Rogue", args = "--recursive") (Requires git to be installed and added to your PATH system environment variable; you may also require the "curl" R package.)

Citing 'Rogue'

If you find this package useful in your work, please consider citing Smith (2021).

To cite the underlying methods, please cite Aberer et al. (2013) ('RogueNaRok') or Smith (2022), as appropriate.

  "description": "Rogue (\"wildcard\") taxa are leaves with uncertain phylogenetic position. Their position may vary from tree to tree under inference methods that yield a tree set (e.g. bootstrapping, Bayesian tree searches, maximum parsimony). The presence of rogue taxa in a tree set can potentially remove all information from a consensus tree. The information content of a consensus tree - a function of its resolution and branch support values - can often be increased by removing rogue taxa. 'Rogue' provides an explicitly information-theoretic approach to rogue detection (Smith 2022) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syab099>, and an interface to 'RogueNaRok' (Aberer et al. 2013) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/sys078>.",
