A computational implementation of ecosystem coupling in R

The goal of EcoCoupleR is to provide ecologists with an intuitive tool that will allow them to explore the potentialities of ecological coupling theory.

Installation

You can install the development version of EcoCoupleR from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("paschatz/EcoCoupleR")

Short note:

This is an R package for calculating ecosystem coupling as has been described by Ochoa-Hueso et al. (2021). This is an ongoing and under construction project. For the time being, the package consists only of one function; eco_coupling(). In a nutshell, eco_coupling() takes as an input a correlation matrix (or a list of many matrices), trims the lower-diagonal, to avoid double counting, removes self-correlations (the diagonal) and calculates a sinlge ecosystem coupling value.

Please provide feedback and suggestions for future improvements.
