Minimum spanning tree (MST) algorithms can generate multiple, equally-minimal, MSTs but MST programs typically report only one, arbitrarily chosen MST. Similarly, most MST programs do not provide statistical metrics to support the credibility of the MSTs that they estimate. MSTgold estimates the number of alternative MSTs, reports up to a user-determined number of those trees, reports a consensus tree, and implements a bootstrapping metric to assess the reliability of alternate MST...
