Takes as input a matrix gridMat with the following format: 0 means a site is included in the study area, and nonzero values mean the site is not included.
Returns an adjacency matrix for the study sites, where sites at a Manhattan distance of exactly kNN are considered neighbors.
Usage
adjMat(m, n, boundary = FALSE)
Arguments
m
height of the grid
n
width of the grid
boundary
surround grid by an external boundary, defaults to FALSE
Value
a list containing a sparse adjacency matrix for a square lattice, and the vector of the points not on the edge
