buildAstar: buildAstar

In Scalelink: Create Scale Linkage Scores

Description

Builds the A* matrix

Usage

buildAstar(foinew, ldfnew, grainsize, debug)

Arguments

foinew	numeric matrix representing the file of interest
ldfnew	numeric matrix representing the linking data file
grainsize	integer determining minimum grain size for parallisation
debug	Boolean indicating whether to output additional debugging information

Details

buildAstar takes a matrix representing the file of interest and a matrix representing the linking data file and creates a matrix that can then be used to generating linking scores. Reporting frequency as this occurs can be specified via the nreport option. This is implemented in C++ to provide a speed increase over implementing it directly in the R equivalent.
