Simple Inverse Model
The files linked here contain the latest version of the inverse food web programs. They require spreadsheet running under Excel that is set up with a standard format; this is then dynamically linked to Matlab. This code at present is designed to run under Microsoft Windows.

To run:

To run the program, first start up Excel and then start up Matlab, and in the directory where the inverse code sits type

> inverse

to invoke the program. The program will query you for the name of the spreadsheet, which must be running in excel at the time. Return the answer without qoutes or .xls extension. For the case supplied here, type:

> simple

to load the spreadsheet "simple.xls".

The output will be
1- graph of network. Arrow width is proportional to the flow.
2- results placed back in the spreadsheet.

For more details, in particular the layout of the spreadsheet, see the file readme.txt.

The code distributed here as evolved from changes made by George Jackson, Nathalie Niquil, Adrian Burd, and Tammi Richardson. It is copyrighted by George A. Jackson (gjackson@tamu.edu). The National Science Foundation has partially supported this work through Grant OCE-0097296 to GAJ.

You can download the code in one of two forms, either as a single zipped file simple_inverse.zip or as the following individual files (download the files using a right-click)


For those using a French version of excel:
Microsoft excel uses different words to refer to a cell in English and French:
     "row" becomes "ligne"
     "column" becomes "colonne"

As a result,

you need to replace 'R2C1:R2C3' with Ll2C1:L2C3', as well as any of the
other similar references to rows and columns in inverse.  For example,
in lines 24, 31, 40, and 42.
