An object of class "NumArcs"
.
Returns the number of arcs of
Proportional Edge Proximity Catch Digraphs (PE-PCDs)
whose vertices are the
given 2D numerical data set, Xp
in the standard equilateral triangle.
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 \(T_e\).
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.
