Summary A procedure is presented that forms an unrooted tree-like structure from a matrix of pairwise differences. The tree is not formed a portion at a time, as methods now in use generally do, but is formed en toto without intervening estimates of branch lengths. The method is based on a relaxed additivity (four-point metric) constraint. From the tree, a classification may be formed.
