reachability: An auxiliary function of 'lofactor()'

In ltorgo/DMwR2: Functions and Data for the Second Edition of "Data Mining with R"

Description

This function computes the reachability measure for each instance of a dataset. This result is used later to compute the Local Outlyingness Factor.

Usage

reachability(distdata, k)

Arguments

distdata	The matrix of distances.
k	The number of neighbors.

Details

This function is strongly based on the code provided by Acuna et. al. (2009) for the previously available dprep package.

Value

A vector.
