donut: Nearest Neighbour Search with Variables on a Torus

Description

Finds the k nearest neighbours in a dataset of specified points, adding the option to wrap certain variables on a torus. The user chooses the algorithm to use to find the nearest neighbours.

Details

The function nnt performs the nearest neighbour search. There is also a rudimentary plot method: plot.nnt.

The default algorithm is that provided by the function nn2 in the RANN-package. Another possibility is the knn function in the nabor-package.

See vignette("donut-vignette", package = "donut") for an overview of the package.
