Returns the number of arcs and various other quantities, vectors, and lists for Proportional Edge Proximity Catch Digraph
(PE-PCD) whose vertices are the data points in Xp in the multiple interval case.
For this function, PE proximity regions are constructed data points inside or outside the intervals based
on Yp points with expansion parameter \(r \ge 1\) and centrality parameter \(c \in (0,1)\). That is, for this function,
arcs may exist for points in the middle or end intervals.
Range (or convex hull) of Yp (i.e., the interval \((\min(Yp),\max(Yp))\)) is partitioned by the spacings based on
Yp points (i.e., multiple intervals are these partition intervals based on the order statistics of Yp points
whose union constitutes the range of Yp points). For the number of arcs, loops are not counted.
