\name{multiRF}
\alias{multiRF}
\title{Computes Robinson-Foulds distance between a set of trees}
\usage{
multiRF(trees,quiet=FALSE,multi2di=FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{trees}{object of class \code{"multiPhylo"} consisting of two or more fully bifurcating, unrooted trees. If trees are rooted, they will be unrooted.}
\item{quiet}{logical argument indicating whether or not to run quietly. (Defaults to \code{FALSE}.)}
\item{multi2di}{logical argumenet indicating whether or not to resolve multifurcating trees. (Defaults to \code{FALSE}.)}
}
\description{
Computes the Robinson-Foulds (Robinson & Foulds 1981) distance between a set of trees in an object of class \code{"multiPhylo"}.
}
\details{
Computes the Robinson-Foulds distance between all phylogenies in an object of class \code{"multiPhylo"}. Uses \code{\link{prop.part}} internally for most of the heavy lifting.
}
\value{
A matrix containing distances.
