f: Density For Distance Between Two Points In Rectangles

In david-clifford/spatialCovariance: Computation of Spatial Covariance Matrices for Data on Rectangles

Description

This evaluates the density for the distance between two points, each distribution uniformly and independently in rectangles. The rectangles are congruent and lie on a lattice. Three special cases exist, when the two rectangles coincide, when the two rectangles lie on the same row (or column) of the lattice and when the two rectangles lie on different rows and columns.

Usage

f(d, rowwidth, colwidth, ax, bx, i, j)

Arguments

d	distance
rowwidth, colwidth	Dimensions of the rectangle
ax,bx	Coordinate of the lower left corner of the second rectangle. Lower left corner of the first is at the origin
i,j	Second rectangle lies in i-th row and j-th column of lattice.

Examples

d <- 0.75
f(d,rowwidth=1,colwidth=1,ax=0,bx=0,i=1,j=1)  ## two points in a unit square
f(d,rowwidth=1,colwidth=1,ax=1,bx=0,i=2,j=1)  ## two points in squares, squares are side by side
