Description: Methods for analyzing and using quartets displayed on a collection 
 of gene trees, primarily to make inferences about the species tree or network 
 under the multi-species coalescent model. These include quartet hypothesis tests
 for the model, as developed by Mitchell et al. (2019) <doi:10.1214/19-EJS1576>, 
 simplex plots of quartet concordance factors as presented by Allman et al. (2020) 
 <doi:10.1101/2020.02.13.948083>, species tree inference methods based on quartet 
 distances of Rhodes (2019) <doi:10.1109/TCBB.2019.2917204> and Yourdkhani and 
 Rhodes (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11538-020-00773-4>, the NANUQ algorithm for inference 
 of level-1 species networks of Allman et al. (2019) <doi:10.1186/s13015-019-0159-2>, 
 the TINNIK algorithm for inference of the tree of blobs of an arbitrary 
 network of Allman et al.(2022) <doi:10.1007/s00285-022-01838-9>,
 NANUQ+ routines for resolving multifurcations in the tree of blobs to cycles as in
 Rhodes et al.(2024) <doi:10.1186/s13015-025-00274-w>, and the ECToBlob algorithm for inference of a 
 network with no anomalous quartets of Allman et al. (2026) (forthcoming).
