 Args    : Optional:

	   # in the final tallies. Otherwise, missing states are ignored
           -missing => 1
           # if true, counts gaps (usually the '-' symbol) as a state
	   # in the final tallies. Otherwise, gap states are ignored
	   -gap => 1

           # if true, counts gaps (usually the '-' symbol) as a state
	   # in the final tallies. Otherwise, gap states are ignored
	   -gap => 1
 Comments: Throws exception if matrix holds continuous values

calc_distinct_site_patterns()

Identifies the distinct distributions of states for all characters and counts their occurrences. Returns an array-of-arrays, where the first cell of each inner array holds the occurrence count, the second cell holds the pattern, i.e. an array of states. For example, for a matrix like this:

taxon1 GTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTG
taxon2 AGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA
taxon3 TCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCT
taxon4 TCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCT
taxon5 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
taxon6 CGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGCGC
taxon7 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The following data structure will be returned:

 [
	[ 12, [ 'G', 'A', 'T', 'T', 'A', 'C', 'A' ] ],
	[ 11, [ 'T', 'G', 'C', 'C', 'A', 'G', 'A' ] ]
 ]

The patterns are sorted from most to least frequently occurring, the states for each pattern are in the order of the rows in the matrix. (In other words, the original matrix can more or less be reconstructed by inverting the patterns, and multiplying them by their occurrence, although the order of the columns will be lost.)

Type    : Calculation
Title   : calc_distinct_site_patterns
Usage   : my $patterns = $object->calc_distinct_site_patterns;
Function: Calculates distinct site patterns.
Returns : A multidimensional array, see above.
Args    : NONE
Comments:

calc_gc_content()

Calculates the G+C content as a fraction on the total

 Type    : Calculation
 Title   : calc_gc_content
 Usage   : my $fraction = $obj->calc_gc_content;
 Function: Calculates G+C content
 Returns : A number between 0 and 1 (inclusive)
 Args    : Optional:
           # if true, counts missing (usually the '?' symbol) as a state
	   # in the final tallies. Otherwise, missing states are ignored
           -missing => 1
           # if true, counts gaps (usually the '-' symbol) as a state
	   # in the final tallies. Otherwise, gap states are ignored
	   -gap => 1
 Comments: Throws 'BadArgs' exception if matrix holds anything other than DNA
           or RNA. The calculation also takes the IUPAC symbol S (which is C|G)
	   into account, but no other symbols (such as V, for A|C|G);

METHODS

keep_chars()

Creates a cloned matrix that only keeps the characters at the supplied (zero-based) indices.

Type    : Utility method
Title   : keep_chars
Usage   : my $clone = $object->keep_chars([6,3,4,1]);
Function: Creates spliced clone.
Returns : A spliced clone of the invocant.
Args    : Required, an array ref of integers
Comments: The columns are retained in the order in 
          which they were supplied.

prune_chars()

Creates a cloned matrix that omits the characters at the supplied (zero-based) indices.

Type    : Utility method
Title   : prune_chars
Usage   : my $clone = $object->prune_chars([6,3,4,1]);
Function: Creates spliced clone.
Returns : A spliced clone of the invocant.
Args    : Required, an array ref of integers
Comments: The columns are retained in the order in 
          which they were supplied.

prune_invariant()

Creates a cloned matrix that omits the characters for which all taxa have the same state (or missing);

Type    : Utility method
Title   : prune_invariant
Usage   : my $clone = $object->prune_invariant;
Function: Creates spliced clone.
Returns : A spliced clone of the invocant.
Args    : None
Comments: The columns are retained in the order in 
          which they were supplied.

prune_uninformative()

Creates a cloned matrix that omits all uninformative characters. Uninformative are considered characters where all non-missing values are either invariant or autapomorphies.

Type    : Utility method
Title   : prune_uninformative
Usage   : my $clone = $object->prune_uninformative;
Function: Creates spliced clone.
Returns : A spliced clone of the invocant.

Title   : bootstrap
Usage   : my $bootstrap = $object->bootstrap;
Function: Creates bootstrapped clone.
Returns : A bootstrapped clone of the invocant.
Args    : Optional, a subroutine reference that returns a random
          integer between 0 (inclusive) and the argument provided

          sub { int( rand( shift ) ) }, a user might override this
          by providing an implementation with a better random number
          generator.
Comments: The bootstrapping algorithm uses perl's random number
          generator to create a new series of indices (without
          replacement) of the same length as the original matrix.
          These indices are first sorted, then applied to the 
          cloned sequences. Annotations (if present) stay connected
          to the resampled cells.

Args    : * Required, a number between 0 and 1, representing the
            fraction of characters to jackknife. 
          * Optional, a subroutine reference that returns a random
            integer between 0 (inclusive) and the argument provided
            to it (exclusive). The default implementation is to use
            sub { int( rand( shift ) ) }, a user might override this
            by providing an implementation with a better random number
            generator.
Comments: The jackknife algorithm uses perl's random number
          generator to create a new series of indices of cells to keep.
          These indices are first sorted, then applied to the 
          cloned sequences. Annotations (if present) stay connected
          to the resampled cells.
