gda_knn_weights function

(For internally use and test only) K-Nearest Neighbors-based Spatial Weights

Create a k-nearest neighbors based spatial weights

gda_knn_weights(
  geoda_obj,
  k,
  power = 1,
  is_inverse = FALSE,
  is_arc = FALSE,
  is_mile = TRUE
)

Arguments

• geoda_obj: An instance of geoda
• k: a positive integer number for k-nearest neighbors
• power: (optional) The power (or exponent) of a number says 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

guerry <- geoda_open(guerry_path)
knn6_w <- gda_knn_weights(guerry, 6)
summary(knn6_w)
