This is a method for the generic function pairdist
. Given a point pattern X
(an object of class "ppp"
),
this function computes the Euclidean distances between all pairs of
points in X
, and returns the matrix of distances.
The argument method
is not normally used. It is
retained only for checking the validity of the software.
If method = "interpreted"
then the distances are
computed using interpreted R code only. If method="C"
(the default) then C code is used. The C code is somewhat faster.
