##### Pairwise distances

Computes the matrix of distances between all pairs of points in a set of points

Keywords
spatial
##### Usage
## S3 method for class 'default':
pairdist(X, Y=NULL, \dots, method="C")
##### Arguments
X,Y
Arguments specifying the coordinates of a set of points. Typically X and Y would be numeric vectors of equal length. Alternatively Y may be omitted and X may be a list with two components
...
Ignored.
method
String specifying which method of calculation to use. Values are "C" and "interpreted". Usually not specified.
##### Details

Given the coordinates of a set of points, this function computes the Euclidean distances between all pairs of points, and returns the matrix of distances. It is a method for the generic function pairdist.

The arguments X and Y must determine the coordinates of a set of points. Typically X and Y would be numeric vectors of equal length. Alternatively Y may be omitted and X may be a list with two components named x and y, or a matrix or data frame with two columns. The argument method is not normally used. It is retained only for checking the validity of the software. If method = "interpreted" then the distances are computed using interpreted R code only. If method="C" (the default) then C code is used. The C code is somewhat faster.

##### Value

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