This function repeatedly balances a model, sequentially with the output being passed back to the balance function, until it is within tolerance or the maximum number of iterations is reached.

Usage

force.balance(x, tol = 5, max.itr = 10, method = "AVG2")

Arguments

x

A network object.

tol

Percent error tolerance for difference between inputs and outputs.

max.itr

Maximum number iterations.

method

The balancing method to use, see balance. DEFAULT = AVG2.

Value

Returns a balanced network model.
