enclosing_radius {simplextree}

enclosing_radius

Description

Computes the enclosing radius of a set of distances.

Usage

enclosing_radius(d)

Arguments

d

a dist object.

Details

The enclosing radius is useful as an upper bound of the scale parameter for the rips filtration. Scales above the enclosing radius render the Vietoris–Rips complex as a simplicial cone, beyond which the homology is trivial.
