neighbours {simecol} | R Documentation |
This is the base function for the simulation of deterministic and stochastic cellular automata on rectangular grids.
neighbours(x, state = NULL, wdist = NULL, tol = 1e-4, bounds = 0) neighbors(x, state = NULL, wdist = NULL, tol = 1e-4, bounds = 0)
x |
Matrix. The cellular grid, in which each cell can have a specific state value, e.g. zero (dead cell) or one (living cell) or the age of an individual. |
state |
A value, whose existence is checked within the neighbourhood of each cell. |
wdist |
The neighbourhood weight matrix. It has to be a square matrix with an odd number of rows and columns). |
tol |
Tolerance value for the comparision of |
bounds |
A vector with either one or four values specifying the type of boundaries, where 0 means open boundaries and 1 torus-like boundaries. The values are specified in the order bottom, left, top, right. |
The performance of the function depends on the size of the matrices and the
type of the boundaries, where open boundaries are faster than torus like
boundaries. Function eightneighbours
is even faster.
A matrix with the same structure as x
with the weighted
sum of the neigbours with values between state - tol
and
state + tol
.
