Measure simple life-like complexity summaries

Computes educational summaries such as unique values, Shannon entropy, mean, standard deviation, temporal variability, and mean absolute change.

Usage

measure_life_like_complexity(data, trait_col, time_col = NULL, bins = 10)

Arguments

data

Data frame containing simulation output.

trait_col

Name of the numeric or categorical trait column to summarize.

time_col

Optional name of a time-step column.

bins

Number of bins used for entropy when the trait is numeric.

Value

A one-row data frame of summary metrics.
