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 triangle, tri
for this function. PE proximity region is constructed 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 the triangle tri
or based on circumcenter of tri
; default is \(M=(1,1,1)\) i.e., the center
of mass of tri
. For the number of arcs, loops are not
allowed so arcs are only possible for points inside the triangle tri
for this function.
