gda_distance_weights function

(For internally use and test only) Distance-based Spatial Weights

Create a distance-based weights

gda_distance_weights(
  geoda_obj,
  dist_thres,
  power = 1,
  is_inverse = FALSE,
  is_arc = FALSE,
  is_mile = TRUE
)

Arguments

• geoda_obj: An instance of geoda-class
• dist_thres: A positive numeric value of distance threshold
• power: (optional) The power (or exponent) of a number indicates how many times to use the number in a multiplication.
• is_inverse: (optional) FALSE (default) or TRUE, apply inverse on distance value
• is_arc: (optional) FALSE (default) or TRUE, compute arc distance between two observations
• is_mile: (optional) TRUE (default) or FALSE, convert distance unit from mile to km.

Returns

An instance of Weight-class
