Get distance matrix for all counties in the US
Description
Function returns a list of counties and a matrix with the distance between
those counties. leverages a built in dataset ('counties'). Note that the
generation of this matrix can take a few seconds. Note: it is better and
faster to use create_dist_list().
Usage
us_distance_matrix(unit = c("miles", "kilometers", "meters"))
Arguments
unit
string, one of "miles" (default), "kilometers", or "meters".
Indicating the desired unit for the distances
Value
a named list of length two; first element ('loc_vec') is a vector of
locations and the second element ('distance_matrix') is a square matrix
containing the pairwise distance (in the given 'unit') between all locations.
Examples
# Takes ~ 10 seconds, depending on machine
us_distance_matrix(unit = "kilometers")
