    • Software

  • splitsmb - a standalone, command-line application for calculating topological convergence diagnostics on MrBayes tree-output files. It calculates the average- and maximum standard deviations of split frequencies between runs. Note: at this point splitsmb only works with unrooted trees in MrBayes format (version 3.1).
