Hi there
I have two tables, with longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates. what I
want is a cross table between each coordinate, to find the distance between
each building and different landmarks
I currently have this nested loop which is fine for when i have 10 stores of
interest, against 200 other landmarks and uses pythagarus to find the
distance
for(i in 1:nrow(store_c)){
landmark_store_cross_tab$foo=landmark_c$landmark_name
for (j in 1:nrow(landmark_c)){
landmark_store_cross_tab[j,i+1]=sqrt((landmark_c$x[j]-store_c$x[i])^2
+(landmark_c$y[j]-store_c$y[i])^2)/1000
}
names(landmark_store_cross_tab)[i+1]=store_c$store_name[i]
}
can someone suggest how I can make this faster?
I am hoping to use one of the apply functions
Thanks
