Examples

columbus <- st_read(system.file("shapes/columbus.gpkg", package="spData")[1], quiet=TRUE)
coords <- st_centroid(st_geometry(columbus), of_largest_polygon=TRUE)

knn1 <- knearneigh(coords, 1)
knn2 <- knearneigh(coords, 2)
nb1 <- knn2nb(knn1, row.names=rn)
#> Warning: neighbour object has 13 sub-graphs
nb2 <- knn2nb(knn2, row.names=rn)
diffs <- diffnb(nb2, nb1)
#> Warning: neighbour object has 10 sub-graphs
