Arguments

x

A phylogenetic tree of class phylo; a list of such trees (of class list or multiPhylo); a Splits object; a vector of integers; or a character vector listing tips of a tree, or a character of length one specifying a tree in Newick format.

Value

NSplits() returns an integer specifying the number of bipartitions in the specified objects, or in a binary tree with x tips.
