Examples

## generate a first region - industry matrix in which cells represent the presence/absence
## of a RCA (period 1)
set.seed(31)
mat1 <- matrix(sample(0:1,20,replace=T), ncol = 4)
rownames(mat1) <- c ("R1", "R2", "R3", "R4", "R5")
colnames(mat1) <- c ("I1", "I2", "I3", "I4")

## generate a second region - industry matrix in which cells represent the presence/absence
## of a RCA (period 2)
mat2 <- mat1
mat2[2,1] <- 0


## run the function
exit.mat (mat1, mat2)
