Computes the distances between pairs of points taken from two different three-dimensional point patterns.
# S3 method for pp3
crossdist(X, Y, …, periodic=FALSE, squared=FALSE)
Point patterns in three dimensions (objects of class "pp3"
).
Ignored.
Logical. Specifies whether to apply a periodic edge correction.
Logical. If squared=TRUE
, the squared distances are
returned instead (this computation is faster).
A matrix whose [i,j]
entry is the distance
from the i
-th point in X
to the j
-th point in Y
.
Given two point patterns in three-dimensional space, this function computes the Euclidean distance from each point in the first pattern to each point in the second pattern, and returns a matrix containing these distances.
This is a method for the generic function crossdist
for three-dimensional point patterns (objects of class "pp3"
).
This function expects two
point patterns X
and Y
, and returns the matrix
whose [i,j]
entry is the distance from X[i]
to
Y[j]
.
Alternatively if periodic=TRUE
, then provided the windows
containing X
and Y
are identical and are rectangular,
then the distances will be computed in the `periodic'
sense (also known as `torus' distance): opposite edges of the
rectangle are regarded as equivalent.
This is meaningless if the window is not a rectangle.
