Compute Node Overlap and Segregation in Ecological Networks

Calculate NOS (node overlap and segregation) and the associated metrics described in Strona and Veech (2015) and Strona et al. (2018) . The functions provided in the package enable assessment of structural patterns ranging from complete node segregation to perfect nestedness in a variety of network types. In addition, they provide a measure of network modularity.
