optimise_axis_ordering_from_matrix: Optimise the Ordering of Axes Using Distance Matrix

In ggEDA: Turnkey Visualisations for Exploratory Data Analysis

Optimise the Ordering of Axes Using Distance Matrix

Description

Finds an ordering of axes that minimises a pairwise distance metric (usually the number of crossings). Offers brute-force and heuristic approaches.

Usage

optimise_axis_ordering_from_matrix(
  mx,
  method = c("auto", "brute_force", "repetitive_nn_with_2opt"),
  return_detailed = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

mx	A matrix or dist object describing pairwise distances between axes.
method	A character string specifying the method. Can be "auto", "brute_force", or "repetitive_nn_with_2opt".
return_detailed	Logical; if TRUE, returns a list with detailed results for debugging.
verbose	Logical; if TRUE, prints progress messages.

Value

If return_detailed = FALSE, returns a character vector of axis names in the chosen order. Otherwise, returns a list with additional data.
