Dear List As I was working on a project, I realized that when I use dnearneigh from spdep, two (or more) points that have the exact same coordinates are not considered neighbours and thus are not linked (even when the lower bound is put to 0 or even to -1). See below for an example. Does the func

Yes. If the function f takes the value zero at some discontinuity point, then the code gives the inf of the set I described. Otherwise, it is an approximation since we need to worry about numerical accuracy. 2017-04-10 14:08 GMT-04:00 Bert Gunter : > Well, I haven't checked carefully, but of cou
