Get weighted connectance.
Description
This function calculates weighted connectance, capturing system complexity and
the skewness of flows.
Usage
getCw(FM)
Arguments
FM
(required) A flow matrix with flows from source in rows to sink in columns.
Details
Cw can vary between 1/number of trophic groups and 1. Larger values of Cw indicate a more even distribution
of fluxes. Cw is used as a measure of system complexity.
Value
Returns a double.
