droplinks: Drop links in a neighbours list

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

View source: R/droplinks.R

Description

Drops links to and from or just to a region from a neighbours list. The example corresponds to Fingleton's Table 1, p. 6, for lattices 5 to 19.

Usage

1
droplinks(nb, drop, 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

Value

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