\title{
nearest neighbour distances from data in one or two dimensions
}
\description{
This function calculates the \code{k} nearest neighbour distance from each
value in \code{x} to the remainder of the data. In two dimensions, Euclidean
distance is used after standardising the data to have unit variance in
each component.
}
\usage{
nnbr(x, k)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{
the vector, or two-column matrix, of data.
}
\item{k}{
the required order of nearest neighbour.
}}
\value{
the vector of nearest neighbour distances.
}
