In lsaravia/EcoNetwork: Ecological network analyses including multiplex networks

Calculates the QSS difference between the full network and the network minus one species

Description

The Quasi-sign stability is estimated with of the community matrix (Jacobian) and characterizes the linear stability of the network. This uses the function calc_QSS() so it can take into account the interaction strength if weights are present.

Usage

calc_QSS_extinction_dif(g, sp_list, nsim = 1000, ncores = 4, istrength = FALSE)

Arguments

g	igraph network
sp_list	list with the species/nodes we will delete for the comparison
nsim	number of simulations to calculate QSS
ncores	number of cores used to perform the operation
istrength	if TRUE takes the weight attribute of the network as interaction strength to calculate QSS.

Value

a data.frame with nsim rows for each species deleted with:

• the node deleted

• The QSS of the complete network for nsim simulations

• The QSS of the network with the deleted node for nsim simulations

• The difference between the two previous QSS

Examples

## Not run: 
g <- netData[[1]]

# Generate random weights
#
V(g)$weight <-  runif(vcount(g))

# Without interaction strength
#
calc_QSS_extinction_dif(g,V(g)$name[1:3],nsim=10,istrength = FALSE)

# With interaction strength
#
calc_QSS_extinction_dif(g,V(g)$name[1:3],nsim=10,istrength = TRUE)

## End(Not run)
