In nos: Compute Node Overlap and Segregation in Ecological Networks

#' Compute NOS using an undirected network and with a user provided
#' network of potential interactions
#'
#' @description Computation of NOS using an undirected network (e.g. a
#'   social co-occurence network) and with a user provided network of potential interactions.
#'   In an undirected network, all nodes are considered as potential interacting
#'   partners.
#' @usage NOSM_POT_undir(net, pot_net, perc = 1, sl = 1)
#' @param net A network, in the form of an edge list. This should be a matrix or
#'   dataframe with two columns. Each value in a column is a node. Nodes can be
#'   identified using numbers or characters.Data can also be in the format of a
#'   frequency interaction matrix, as used in the \link[bipartite]{bipartite} R
#'   package. In these cases \code{\link{freqMat_2_edge}} should be used first,
#'   to convert the interaction matrix to an edge list.
#' @param pot_net A network of all potential interactions. These should include,
#'   as a minimum, all the observed interactions (i.e. all links in net),plus
#'   any other possible interaction (such as all those permitted by a certain
#'   trophic rule). pot_net should have the same structure as net (e.g. it
#'   should be a data frame or matrix).
#' @param perc (default to 1) - the fraction of node pair comparisons to be
#'   performed to compute NOS. We recommend performing all possible pair
#'   comparisons (perc = 1). However, for exploratory analyses on large sets of
#'   networks (or for very large networks), the possibility of using a lower
#'   fraction of pair comparisons is a useful option.
#' @param sl (default is 1) Specifies whether cannibalistic interactions should
#'   be considered as possible and therefore taken into account and removed
#'   during computation ('1') or not ('0').
#' @return A list of class 'NOSM' with a 'Type' attribute 'Pot_undir',
#'   containing a vector of overlap values. The \code{\link{summary.NOSM}}
#'   methods provides more useful summary statistics.
#' @examples
#' data(boreal)
#' y <-  boreal[1:300,] #subset 300 rows for speed
#' d <- sample(nrow(y), 200, replace = FALSE) #create a random pot_net
#' pot_net <- y[d,] #by randomly sampling 200 rows from boreal
#' x <- NOSM_POT_undir(y, pot_net, perc = 1, sl = 1)
#' summary(x)
