Internally it handles the points and the possible matchings as a bi-partite graphs and finds an optimal matching due to euclidean distance by an efficient linear programming solver.
getOptimalPointMatching(x, y, method = "lp")[Network | matrix]
First network or matrix of coordinates of the first point set.
[Network | matrix]
Second network or matrix of coordinates of the second point set.
[character(1)]
Method used to solve the assignment problem. There are currently two methods
available:
Solves the problem be means of linear programming with the lpSolve package. This is the default.
The assignment problem can be formulated as a matching problem on bipartite graphs. This method makes use of the push-relabel algorithm from the igraph.
Random point matching.
[matrix]
Each row consists of the indizes of the pairwise matchings.
