TreeSearch 1.0.02021-09-22

New functions

• PrepareDataProfile() simplifies dataset to allow partial search when multiple applicable tokens are present
• Resample() conducts bootstrap and jackknife resampling
• Consistency() calculates consistency and retention ‘indices’
• MinimumLength() calculates minimum length of character in a dataset on any tree.

Improvements

• TreeLength() supports lists of trees
