% Example calculation of the (weighted) imbalance in Octave
%
% Imbalance of a channel:
% b <-> 0 = 100%
% 0 <-> b = 100%
% 1/2b <-> 1/2b = 0%

% Set 3 channel balances (in msatoshi)
peer(1)=1000000000; we(1)=500000000;
peer(2)=1100000000; we(2)=300000000;
peer(3)=0; we(3)=300000000;

imbalance=0;
tot=0;
for n=1:3
  totc=peer(n)+we(n); % total of this channel
  tot=tot+totc; % total of all channels

  % Normalize difference <= 1, square, weight and sum
  imbalance=imbalance+((peer(n)-we(n))/totc)^2*totc;
end

% Normalize weighting <= 1, take root and multiply by 100
imbalance=100*sqrt(imbalance/tot) % 53.730 per cent
