Which Matrices Show Perfect Nestedness or the Absence of Nestedness? An Analytical Study on the Performance of NODF and WNODF

Nestedness is a concept employed to describe a particular pattern of organization in species interaction networks and in site-by-species incidence matrices. Currently the most widely used nestedness index is the NODF (Nestedness metric based on Overlap and Decreasing Fill), initially presented for b...
