r"""Compute the trophic levels of nodes.
The trophic level of a node $i$ is
.. math::
s_i = 1 + \frac{1}{k^{in}_i} \sum_{j} a_{ij} s_j
where $k^{in}_i$ is the in-degree of i
.. math::
k^{in}_i = \sum_{j} a_{ij}
and nodes with $k^{in}_i = 0$ have $s_i = 1$ by convention.
These are calculated using the method outlined in Levine [1]_.
Parameters
----------
G : DiGraph
A directed networkx graph
Returns
-------
nodes : dict
Dictionary of nodes with trophic level as the value.

r"""Compute the trophic incoherence parameter of a graph.
Trophic coherence is defined as the homogeneity of the distribution of
trophic distances: the more similar, the more coherent. This is measured by
the standard deviation of the trophic differences and referred to as the
trophic incoherence parameter $q$ by [1].
Parameters
----------
G : DiGraph
A directed networkx graph
cannibalism: Boolean
If set to False, self edges are not considered in the calculation
Returns
-------
trophic_incoherence_parameter : float
