Dist_mat_unif: Uniform population distribution.

In BenjamenSimon/EpidemicR: Stochastic modelling and inference for epidemics.

Description

This function generates a distance matrix with uniform distribution of individuals across a specified rectangle.

Usage

Dist_mat_unif(N, xlim = 20, ylim = 20)

Arguments

N	The total number of individuals in the population.
xlim	The width of the plane on which individuals will be generated (defaults to 20 units wide).
ylim	The height of the place on which individuals will be generated (defaults to 20 units high).

Value

The function returns a list. The first object in the list is a Nx2 matrix of the coordinates of the individuals. The second object is an NxN distance matrix.

Examples

xy.coords <- Dist_mat_unif(N=100, xlim = 20, ylim = 20)[[1]]
distance_mat <- Dist_mat_unif(N=100, xlim = 20, ylim = 20)[[2]]
plot(xy.coords[,1], xy.coords[,2], type  = "p")
