##### Create a Point Matching

Creates an object of class "pppmatching" representing a matching of two planar point patterns (objects of class "ppp").

Keywords
spatial, datagen
##### Usage
pppmatching(X, Y, am, type = NULL, cutoff = NULL, q = NULL,
mdist = NULL)
##### Arguments
X,Y
Two point patterns (objects of class "ppp").
am
An X$n by Y$n matrix with entries $\geq 0$ that specifies which points are matched and with what weight; alternatively, an object that can be coerced to this form by as.matrix.
type
A character string giving the type of the matching. One of "spa", "ace" or "mat", or NULL for a generic or unknown matching.
cutoff, q
Numerical values specifying the cutoff value $> 0$ for interpoint distances and the order $q \in [1,\infty]$ of the average that is applied to them. NULL if not applicable or unknown.
mdist
Numerical value for the distance to be associated with the matching.
##### Details

The argument am is interpreted as a "generalized adjacency matrix": if the [i,j]-th entry is positive, then the i-th point of X and the j-th point of Y are matched and the value of the entry gives the corresponding weight of the match. For an unweighted matching all the weights should be set to $1$.

The remaining arguments are optional and allow to save additional information about the matching. See the help files for pppdist and matchingdist for details on the meaning of these parameters.

##### Examples
# a random unweighted complete matching
X <- runifpoint(10)
Y <- runifpoint(10)
am <- r2dtable(1, rep(1,10), rep(1,10))[[1]]
# generates a random permutation matrix
m <- pppmatching(X, Y, am)
summary(m)
m$matrix plot(m) # a random weighted complete matching X <- runifpoint(7) Y <- runifpoint(7) am <- r2dtable(1, rep(10,7), rep(10,7))[[1]]/10 # generates a random doubly stochastic matrix m2 <- pppmatching(X, Y, am) summary(m2) m2$matrix
# Note: plotting does currently not distinguish
# between different weights
plot(m2)
