nnct: Nearest Neighbor Contingency Table (NNCT)

In nnspat: Nearest Neighbor Methods for Spatial Patterns

Nearest Neighbor Contingency Table (NNCT)

Description

Returns the k \times k NNCT given the IPD matrix or data set x where k is the number of classes in the data set. Rows and columns of the NNCT are labeled with the corresponding class labels.

The argument ties is a logical argument (default=FALSE) to take ties into account or not. If TRUE a NN contributes 1/m to the NN count if it is one of the m tied NNs of a subject.

The argument is.ipd is a logical argument (default=TRUE) to determine the structure of the argument x. If TRUE, x is taken to be the inter-point distance (IPD) matrix, and if FALSE, x is taken to be the data set with rows representing the data points.

Usage

nnct(x, lab, ties = FALSE, is.ipd = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x	The IPD matrix (if is.ipd=TRUE) or a data set of points in matrix or data frame form where points correspond to the rows (if is.ipd = FALSE).
lab	The vector of class labels (numerical or categorical)
ties	A logical argument (default=FALSE) to take ties into account or not. If TRUE a NN contributes 1/m to the NN count if it is one of the m tied NNs of a subject.
is.ipd	A logical parameter (default=TRUE). If TRUE, x is taken as the inter-point distance matrix, otherwise, x is taken as the data set with rows representing the data points.
...	are for further arguments, such as method and p, passed to the dist function.

Value

Returns the k \times k NNCT where k is the number of classes in the data set.

nnct(ipd,cls)

#cls as a factor

#ipd needs to be sorted as well, otherwise this result will not agree with fcls1
