title: 'flows: Flow Matrix Selection with Statistics and Visualisation'
version: 2.0.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.flows
abstract: 'The analysis and representation of flows often presuppose a selection to
  facilitate interpretation. Various methods have been proposed for selecting flows,
  one of the most widely used being based on major flows: it selects only the most
  important flows, absolute or relative, on a local or global scale. These methods
  often highlight hierarchies between locations, but the loss of information caused
  by selection is rarely taken into account. We propose statistical indicators to
  assess the loss of information and the characteristics of selected flows. We provide
  functions that select flows (main, dominant or major flows), provide statistics
  on selections and offer visualizations in the form of maps and graphs. See Beauguitte
  et al. (2015) <https://doi.org/10.4000/netcom.2134> for more details.'
