bipartite (version 2.16)

linklevel: Indices of a bipartite network at the link level

Description

Computes various indices of a network at the link-level, i.e. for each cell of the network matrix

Usage

linklevel(web, index=c("dependence", "endpoint"))

Arguments

web

A matrix with pollinators as columns and plants as rows. Alternatively, when used on e.g. species occurrences across islands, rows are islands.

index

Vector of indices to be computed at the link level; options are:

• dependence to compute dependence-matrix for each group level;

• endpoint to compute end-point degrees following Barratt et al. (2004).

Value

Returns a list of indices, each entry being a matrix of the same dimensions as the input web.

Details

For summaries of such indices see networklevel. It's still early days for this function ...
