R Documentation

Construct a community matrix

Description

Turns interaction strengths from the tabular format (output of interaction_strengths()) into a community matrix.

Usage

assemble_jacobian(interaction_table, species_list, ij_col, ji_col)

Arguments

`interaction_table`	dataframe created by the interaction strengths function
`species_list`	list of species names in the community, can be taken from the abundance table
`ij_col`	name of the column that contains effects of species i on species j
`ji_col`	name of the column that contains effects of species j on species j

Details

To do this, species names from the abundance table is used to name the rows and columns of the matrix. The corresponding interaction strengths are then picked from the dataframe, based on the species name.
