In pachterlab/SpatialFeatureExperiment: Integrating SpatialExperiment with Simple Features in sf

Convert multiple listw graphs into a single sparse adjacency matrix

Description

Each sample in the SFE object has a separate spatial neighborhood graph. Spatial analyses performed jointly on multiple samples require a combined spatial neighborhood graph from the different samples, where the different samples would be disconnected components of the graph. This combined adjacency matrix can be used in MULTISPATI PCA.

Usage

multi_listw2sparse(listws)

Arguments

listws

A list of listw objects.

Value

A sparse dgCMatrix of the combined spatial neighborhood graph, with the original spatial neighborhood graphs of the samples on the diagonal. When the input is an SFE object, the rows and columns will match the column names of the SFE object.
