getConnPerNode: Get effective or topological connectance per node.

In dswdejonge/fwstability: Infer Food-Web Stability

Get effective or topological connectance per node.

Description

This function calculates effective or topological connectance per node, which can plotted in the window of vitality.

Usage

getConnPerNode(FM, type = c("eff", "topo"))

Arguments

FM	(required) A flow matrix with flows from source in rows to sink in columns.
type	"eff" calculates the effective connectance per node (m). "topo" calculates the topological connectance per node (m*), which is the special case where all flows have equal weights. If nothing is specified the effective connectance per node is calculated.

Value

Returns a double.
