Abstract

Spectrum is a new Macintosh and Microsoft Windows program designed to read in phylogenetic four-state or binary data in NEXUS format, and output the corresponding bipartition spectra. It can be used to find the tree whose expected spectrum is closest to the observed spectrum (the closest tree, Hendy, Discr, Math., 96, 51-58,. 1991).
