n2dist: Nearest neighbours for two point patterns

Description

Calculate nearest neighbours for two point patterns

Usage

n2dist(pts1,pts2)

Arguments

pts1,pts2

Point data sets

Value

Returns a list with components $dists and $neighs. $dists[i] is the distance of the nearest neighbour of point pts2[i,] in pts1 and $neighs[i] is the index in pts1 of the point nearest to pts2[i,]. Documentation and example by Alun Pope, 2007-08-23.
