#' calculate Elo ratings from an interaction matrix
#'
#' calculate Elo ratings from an interaction matrix based on randomly
#' generated sequences
#'
#' @param interactionmatrix square interaction matrix with winner in rows and
#'        losers in columns, for example the output from
#'        \code{\link{creatematrix}}
#' @param runs number of randomly generated sequences based on the interactions
#'        in the \code{interactionmatrix}
#' @param normprob logical (by default \code{TRUE}). Should a normal curve be
#'        assumed for calculating the winning/losing probablities, or a logistic
#'        curve. See \code{\link{winprob}} for details
#' @param progressbar logical, should progress bars be displayed, by default
#'        \code{progressbar=TRUE}
#' @param k numeric, factor \emph{k} that determines the maximum change in
#'        ratings. By default \code{k=100}
#'
#' @return list of length 2. The first element contains a matrix with the final
#' rating of each individual from each random sequence. IDs are in the columns,
#' each run is represented as one row. The second element of the list contains
#' the original interaction matrix.
