Returns the number of arcs of Proportional Edge Proximity Catch Digraphs (PE-PCDs) whose vertices are the
given 2D numerical data set, Xp
. It also provides number of vertices (i.e., number of data points inside the triangle)
and indices of the data points that reside in the triangle.
PE proximity region \(N_{PE}(x,r)\) is defined with respect to the standard
equilateral triangle \(T_e=T(v=1,v=2,v=3)=T((0,0),(1,0),(1/2,\sqrt{3}/2))\) with expansion parameter \(r \ge 1\)
and vertex regions are based on the center \(M=(m_1,m_2)\)
in Cartesian coordinates or \(M=(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)\) in barycentric coordinates in the interior of \(T_e\);
default is \(M=(1,1,1)\) i.e., the center of mass of \(T_e\).
For the number of arcs, loops are not allowed so
arcs are only possible for points inside \(T_e\) for this function.
