-D ML search convergence criterion. This will break off ML searches if the
relative Robinson-Foulds distance between the trees obtained from two
consecutive lazy SPR cycles is smaller or equal to 1%. Usage recommended for
very large datasets in terms of taxa.
On trees with more than 500 taxa this will yield execution time improvements
of approximately 50% while yielding only slightly worse trees.

positions you wish to exclude.
Format is similar to Nexus, the file shall contain entries like "100-200
300-400", to exclude a single column write, e.g., "100-100", if you specify
a partition file via “-q”, an appropriately adapted partition file will also
be written.

-f I a simple tree rooting algorithm for unrooted trees. It roots the tree by
rooting it at the branch that best balances the subtree lengths (sum over
branches in the subtrees) of the left and right subtree. A branch with an
optimal balance does not always exist! You need to specify the tree you want
to root via -t.
Example: raxmlHPC -f I -m GTRCAT -t unrootedTree -n TEST
-f j generate a bunch of bootstrapped alignment files from an original alignment

-I a posteriori bootstopping analysis. Use:
-I autoFC for the frequency-based criterion
-I autoMR for the majority-rule consensus tree criterion
-I autoMRE for the extended majority-rule consensus tree criterion
-I autoMRE_IGN for metrics similar to MRE, but include bipartitions under
the threshold whether they are compatible or not. This emulates MRE but
is faster to compute.

faster when this is enabled.
DEFAULT: Off
Example: raxmlHPC -p 12345 --silent -s alg -n TEST -m GTRGAMMA
--no-seq-check Disables checking the input MSA for identical sequences and
entirely undetermined sites. Enabling this option may save time,
in particular for large phylogenomic alignments.
Before using this, make sure to check the alignment using the
-f c option!
DEFAULT: Off
Example: raxmlHPC -p 12345 -s alg --no-seq-check -n TEST -m GTRGAMMA
--no-bfgs Disables automatic usage of BFGS method to optimize GTR rates on
unpartitioned DNA datasets . Using BFGS can improve speeds for model
optimization by up to 30%. It's enabled by default when analyzing
single-partition DNA datasets.
DEFAULT: BFGS on
Example: raxmlHPC -p 12345 -s alg --no-bfgs -n TEST -m GTRGAMMA
--asc-corr Allows to specify the type of ascertainment bias correction you wish to
use. There are three types available:
--asc-corr=lewis: the standard correction by Paul Lewis
--asc-corr=felsenstein: a correction introduced by Joe Felsenstein
that allows to explicitely specify the number of invariable sites
(if known) one wants to correct for.
--asc-corr=stamatakis: a correction introduced by myself that
allows to explicitely specify the number of invariable sites for
each character (if known) one wants to correct for.
