summary.cma: Summarising the extraction of close modern analogues

Description

summary method for class "cma".

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cma':
summary(object, \dots)

Arguments

object

an object of class "cma", usually the result of a call to cma.

...

arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

• An object of class "summary.cma" with the components of an object of class cma, plus:
• distances
  a matrix of distances/dissimilarities. Individual columns contain the ordered close modern analogues for individual fossil samples. Rows of this matrix refer to the $k^{\mathrm{th}}$ closest analogue for each fossil sample. See notes below.
• samples
  a matrix of sample names from the reference set that are close modern analogues for a fossil sample. Individual columns contain the ordered close modern analogues for individual fossil samples. Rows of this matrix refer to the $k^{\mathrm{th}}$ closest analogue for each fossil sample. See notes below.
