Math::Vector::Real::Neighbors - find nearest neighbor for a set of points
use Math::Vector::Real::Neighbors; use Math::Vector::Real::Random; my @v = map Math::Vector::Real->random_normal(2), 0..1000; my @nearest_ixs = Math::Vector::Real::Neighbors->neighbors(@v);
This module is able to find for every point in a given set its nearest neighbour from the same set.
Two methods are currently available:
Given a set of points returns the indexes on the set for the nearest neighbor for every point.
Does the same using a brute force algorithm. This method is mostly for testing purposes.
