Phylogenetic trees are essential in studying evolutionary relationships, and the Robinson-Foulds (RF) distance is a widely used metric to calculate pairwise dissimilarities between phylogenetic trees, with various applications in both the biology and computing communities. However, generating a precise RF distance matrix becomes difficult or even intractable when tree information is partially missing. To address this issue, we introduce a novel distance correction algorithm for estimating the RF distance matrix of incomplete phylogenetic trees. Our method innovatively harnesses the assumption of Euclidean embedding, correcting an approximate distance matrix into a valid distance metric, guaranteed to be closer to the unknown ground-truth. Despite its simplicity, our approach exhibits robust performance, efficiency, and scalability in empirical evaluations, outperforming classical distance correction algorithms and holding potential benefits in downstream applications.
