steepness

steepint

hierarchy steepness based on David's scores

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.
