calculate David's scores from an interaction matrix

Provides functions to quantify animal dominance hierarchies. The major focus is on Elo rating and its ability to deal with temporal dynamics in dominance interaction sequences. For static data, David's score and de Vries' I&SI are also implemented. In addition, the package provides functions to assess transitivity, linearity and stability of dominance networks. See Neumann et al (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.anbehav.2011.07.016> for an introduction.

DS function

<dl><dt>interactionmatrix</dt>
<dd>square interaction matrix with winner in rows and losers in columns, for example the output from <code>creatematrix</code></dd>
<dt>prop</dt>
<dd>the type of dyadic win proportion to be use. By default corrected for number of interactions in a dyad (<code>prop="Dij"</code>), otherwise the raw proportion (<code>prop="Pij"</code>)</dd></dl>
