3 \title{Test if a Tree is Ultrametric}
5 is.ultrametric(phy, tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.5)
8 \item{phy}{an object of class \code{"phylo"}.}
9 \item{tol}{a numeric >= 0, variation below this value are considered
10 non-significant (see details).}
13 This function computes the distances from each tip to the root: if the
14 variance of these distances is null, the tree is considered as
18 a logical: \code{TRUE} if the tree is ultrametric, \code{FALSE}
22 The default value for \code{tol} is based on the numerical
23 characteristics of the machine R is running on.
