NetIndices (version 1.4.4.1)

NetIndices-package: Estimates network indices, including trophic structure of foodwebs

Description

Given a network (e.g. a food web), estimates several network indices.

These include:

• ascendency network indices,

• direct and indirect dependencies,

• effective measures,

• environ network indices,

• general network indices,

• pathway analysis,

• network uncertainty indices and constraint efficiencies

• the trophic level and omnivory indices of food webs.
