pairdist.ppx: Pairwise Distances in Any Dimensions

Description

Computes the matrix of distances between all pairs of points in a multi-dimensional point pattern.

Usage

# S3 method for ppx
pairdist(X, …)

Arguments

X

A point pattern (object of class "ppx").

…

Arguments passed to coords.ppx to determine which coordinates should be used.

Value

A square matrix whose [i,j] entry is the distance between the points numbered i and j.

Details

This is a method for the generic function pairdist.

Given a multi-dimensional point pattern X (an object of class "ppx"), this function computes the Euclidean distances between all pairs of points in X, and returns the matrix of distances.

By default, both spatial and temporal coordinates are extracted. To obtain the spatial distance between points in a space-time point pattern, set temporal=FALSE.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
   df <- data.frame(x=runif(4),y=runif(4),z=runif(4),w=runif(4))
   X <- ppx(data=df)
   pairdist(X)
# }
