Hi all I am trying to determine the distances between two datasets of x and y points. The number of points in dataset One is very small i.e. perhaps 5-10. The number of points in dataset Two is likely to be very large i.e. 20,000-30,000. My initial approach was to append the first dataset to the second and then carry out the calculation: dists <- as.matrix(dist(gis data from 2 * datasets))

I am looking for an efficient way to find near neighbors... More specifically... I have two sets of points: A & B and I want to find points in set B which are closer to set A than some cutoff (or n-closest) I will appreciate very much any pointers...
