\title{Variance-Covariance Matrix to Tree}
\description{
This function transforms a variance-covariance matrix into a
phylogenetic tree.
}
\usage{
vcv2phylo(mat, tolerance = 1e-7)
}
\arguments{
\item{mat}{a square symmetric (positive-definite) matrix.}
\item{tolerance}{the numeric tolerance used to compare the branch
lengths.}
}
\details{
The function tests if the matrix is symmetric and positive-definite
(i.e., all its eigenvalues positive within the specified tolerance).
}
\value{
an object of class \code{"phylo"}.
}
