Positions of destination locations in a spatial interaction model

Functions to get or set the positions of the destination locations in a spatial interaction model (or in a collection of spatial interaction models).

Usage

destination_positions(sim)

destination_positions(sim) <- value

Arguments

sim

a spatial interaction model object (an object of class sim) or a collection of spatial interaction models (an object of class sim_list)

value

a matrix with as many rows as the number of destination locations and 2 or 3 columns, or NULL

Value

for destination_positions, NULL or the coordinate matrix for the destination locations. For destination_positions<-, the modified sim object or sim_list object.

Positions

Location positions are given by numeric matrices with 2 or 3 columns. The first two columns are assumed to be geographical coordinates while the third column can be used, for instance, to store altitude. Coordinates are interpreted as is in graphical representations (see autoplot.sim()). They are not matched to the costs as those can be derived from complex movement models and other not purely geographical considerations.

Examples

positions <- as.matrix(french_cities[1:10, c("th_longitude", "th_latitude")])
distances <- french_cities_distances[1:10, 1:10] / 1000 ## convert to km
production <- rep(1, 10)
attractiveness <- rep(1, 10)
model <- static_blvim(distances, production, 1.5, 1, attractiveness)
destination_positions(model) <- positions
destination_positions(model)
