tessellation_adjacency_matrix: Adjacency Matrix from Tessellation

Description

This function deals with spatial data having a point-level geometry domain. It converts the spatial proximity into an adjacency matrix based on Voronoi tessellation or Delaunay triangulation.

Usage

tessellation_adjacency_matrix(geometry_domain)

Arguments

geometry_domain

n by d matrix (NA not allowed) of geographical coordinates for n points in d-dimensional space.

Value

A matrix with 0-1 values indicating the adjacency between the n input points.
