SSentropy

Description

Estimate stable state entropy for a given state.

Evaluating the entropy of transitions among stable states starting from a given community state.

The returned value includes the estimated entropy, the convergence time, and the number of successful convergences within the given iteration limits.

Usage

SSentropy(state, ss, alpha, beta, seitr = 1000, convTime = 10000)

Arguments

state	Binary vector (or matrix with one row) representing the current state.
ss	Matrix of stable states.
alpha	Vector of implicit or explicit environmental effects.
beta	Matrix of species interactions.
seitr	Number of stochastic search iterations.
convTime	Maximum number of iterations for each search.

Value

A numeric matrix with three columns: (1) stable state entropy, (2) convergence time, (3) number of converged searches.
