createxymap {BayesX} | R Documentation |
Creates a map object from a list of coordinates by treating observations within a certain distance as neighbors. The resulting neighborhood structure is stored in a map object in graph format while a map in boundary format is created to enable visualisation.
createxymap(x, y, districts=NULL, p=2, max.dist)
x |
Vector of x-coordinates of underlying points |
y |
Vector of y-coordinates of underlying points |
districts |
Either NULL or a vector of names for labeling points. If districts=NULL , points are labelled by index. |
p |
Any p-norm with p>=1 can be chosen as the distance measure with the Euclidian distance (p=2 ) being the default. For p=Inf , the maximum of coordinates is used. Except for p=Inf , calculations can fail for huge p . |
max.dist |
Value which determines the neighborship. Points whose distance is smaller or equal than max.dist are considered as neighbors. |
List of two elements: map object in graph format and map object in boundary format.
