force.balance: Repeated Application the Balance Function

In enaR: Tools for Ecological Network Analysis

Description

This function repeatedly balances a model, sequentially with the output being passed back to the balance function, until it is within tolerance or the maximum number of iterations is reached.

Usage

force.balance(x, tol = 5, max.itr = 10, method = "AVG2")

Arguments

x	A network object.
tol	Percent error tolerance for difference between inputs and outputs.
max.itr	Maximum number iterations.
method	The balancing method to use, see balance. DEFAULT = AVG2.

Value

Returns a balanced network model.
