Drop and add links in a neighbours list

Description

droplinks drops links to and from or just to a region from a neighbours list. The example corresponds to Fingleton's Table 1, (1999) p. 6, for lattices 5 to 19. addlinks1 adds links from a single region to specified regions.

Usage

droplinks(nb, drop, sym=TRUE)
addlinks1(nb, from, to, sym=TRUE)

Arguments

`nb`	a neighbours list object of class `nb`
`drop`	either a logical vector the length of `nb`, or a character vector of named regions corresponding to `nb`'s region.id attribute, or an integer vector of region numbers
`sym`	TRUE for removal of both "row" and "column" links, FALSE for only "row" links; when adding links, inserts links to the from region from the to regions
`from`	single from region for adding links, either a character vector of length 1 of the named from region corresponding to `nb`'s region.id attribute, or an integer vector of length 1 holding a region number
`to`	to regions, either a character vector of named from regions corresponding to `nb`'s region.id attribute, or an integer vector of region numbers

Value

The function returns an object of class nb with a list of integer vectors containing neighbour region number ids.

  wmat <- listw2mat(listw)
  for (j in 1:length(rho)) {
    mat <- diag(ns[i]*ns[i]) - rho[j] * wmat
    res <- diag(solve(t(mat) %*% mat))
    mns[i,j] <- mean(res)
    mxs[i,j] <- max(res)
