Identifies structure (or quasi-structure) and outputs a classification.
Usage
IdentifyStructure(metacom.obj)
Arguments
metacom.obj
The result of the 'Metacommunity' function, containing a
list of 4 elements; the empirical matrix being tested, and results for
coherence, turnover, and boundary clumping.
Value
Ouputs a classification of the metacommunity.
Note
Quasi structures, as well as 'random' and 'Gleasonian' structures, may
not strictly be discernable through the EMS approach, as they rely on
inferring a result from a non-significant test ('accepting the null'), which
is typically a bad idea.

Examples
# Define an interaction matrix
data(TestMatrices)
pres3c=TestMatrices[[6]]
# Analyze metacommunity
pres3c.metacom=Metacommunity(pres3c, sims=10, method='r1')
# Identify the structure
IdentifyStructure(pres3c.metacom)
