Hello, everybody! I have subscribed to the list only recently, although I've been actively using R since February. I found it very useful and very flexible and I hope to learn to use it better. My current problem concerns spatial statistics. I need to partition a regular rectangular grid into given number of subsets. For example for a 5*5 grid with 3 subsets I could have: 1 1 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 2 1 1 1 2 3 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 3 3 3 One of the things I have to take into account here is the neighborhood matrix. I consider two cells neighbors if they have a common size (not corner). Thus each cell in the middle of the grid has four neighbors. Is there by any chance a ready package or function which does it in R? The packages I found so far are for point processes. Also can anybody propose a good algorithm for doing this?
