Coupling Coordination Analysis
coupling is an R package for coupling coordination analysis based on coupling coordination degree (CCD) models. It incorporates metacoupling frameworks to characterize cross-scale linkages, flows, and feedbacks within and among coupled systems.
Refer to the package documentation https://stscl.github.io/coupling/ for more detailed information.
