make.T {LoopAnalyst} | R Documentation |
Validates a community matrix and computes its absolute feedback matrix.
make.T(CM, status=FALSE)
CM |
A valid community matrix. |
status |
Switches on an element-by-element progress indicator when set to TRUE . Set to FALSE by default. |
The supplied matrix is validated as a community matrix, and its absolute feedback matrix is computed. The value of a given element indicates the total number of disjoint cycles spanning all varibles of the complementary subsystem for each path from j to i. Values of a given element may be positive or zero, and bounds the magnitude of the associated adjoint matrix of the negative community matrix.
NOTE: weighted feedback, adjoint and absolute feeback matrices are transposed relative to the community effect matrix.
