nnt

Purpose
This function calculates the Nearest Neighbor Transform (NNT) of a point process X under the Palm distribution.

Synopsis
R = nnt(X, P)
R = nnt(X, P, N)
R = nnt(X, P, N, dR)
[R, r] = nnt(X, ...)
[R, r, A] = nnt(X, P, N, dR)
[R, r, A] = nnt(X, P, N, dR, Na)
[R, r, A, a]=nnt(X, ...)

Description
R = nnt(X, P) calculates the radial distribution of points in X, type uint8, relative to points in P, type uint8, and returns the data in matrix R where each row i corresponds to the ith ordered point.

R = nnt(X, P, N) calculates R up to the Nth order point. (default=20)

R = nnt(X, P, N, dR) seperates points in bins of radail width dR. (default=1)

[R, r] = nnt(X, P, N, dR) returns the vector r use the minimum radius of points in corresponding columns of R.

[R, r, A] = nnt(X, P, N, dR) returns the angular distribution of points in the matrix A.

[R, r, A] = nnt(X, P, N, dR, Na) returns the angular distribution of points in the matrix A into Na angular bins. (default=72)

[R, r, A, a]=nnt(X, ...) returns the vector a as the minimum radius of points in the corresponding columns of A.
