Description

Provide a way to calculate average distance of species in matrix.

Motivation is to be able to compare

  • tree-based average ingroup distance (AID; introduced with #653) with
  • sequence-based distances as provided by distance matrix

Distance-sets to support:

  • all species included in matrix (all possible pairs)
  • only marked species (all possible pairs)
  • all pairs of
    • selected species and not-selected species (in matrix)
    • marked species and not-marked species (in matrix)

Calculate (for each distance-set):

  • arithmetic mean
  • median

("selecting" one of the results could be used to set the limits in matrix view → allows to determine values above from values below the selected average)
