An object of class "NumArcs"
.
Returns the number of arcs of Central Similarity Proximity Catch Digraphs (CS-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 standard equilateral triangle \(T_e\))
and indices of the data points that reside in \(T_e\).
CS proximity region \(N_{CS}(x,t)\) 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 \(t>0\)
and edge 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.
