ABSTRACT
We present a dimensionless fit index for phylogenetic trees that have been constructed from distance matrices. It is designed to measure the quality of the fit of the data to a tree in absolute terms, independent of linear transformations on the distance matrix. The index can be used as an absolute measure to evaluate how well a set of data fits to a tree, or as a relative measure to compare different methods that are expected to produce the same tree. The usefulness of the index is demonstrated in three examples.
