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.
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
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.
