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.
