Drop links in a neighbours list
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.
droplinks(nb, drop, sym=TRUE)
nb |
a neighbours list object of class |
drop |
either a logical vector the length of |
sym |
TRUE for removal of both "row" and "column" links, FALSE for only "row" links |
The function returns an object of class nb with a list of integer vectors containing neighbour region number ids.
