Cardinalities for neighbours lists

Description

The function tallies the numbers of neighbours of regions in the neighbours list.

Usage

card(nb)

Arguments

nb

a neighbours list object of class nb

Details

“nb” objects are stored as lists of integer vectors, where the vectors contain either the indices in the range 1:n for n as length(nb) of the neighbours of region i, or as.integer(0) to signal no neighbours. The function card(nb) is used to extract the numbers of neighbours from the “nb” object.

Value

An integer vector of the numbers of neighbours of regions in the neighbours list.
