Package: BiocNeighbors Version: 2.7.2 Date: 2026-05-10 Title: Nearest Neighbor Detection for Bioconductor Packages Authors@R: c(person("Aaron", "Lun", role=c("aut", "cre", "cph"), email="infinite.monkeys.with.keyboards@gmail.com")) Imports: Rcpp, methods Suggests: Matrix, DelayedArray, beachmat, BiocParallel, testthat, BiocStyle, S4Vectors, knitr, rmarkdown biocViews: Clustering, Classification Description: Implements exact and approximate methods for nearest neighbor detection, in a framework that allows them to be easily switched within Bioconductor packages or workflows. Exact searches can be performed using the k-means for k-nearest neighbors algorithm, vantage point trees, or an exhaustive search. Approximate searches can be performed using the Annoy or HNSW libraries. Each search can be performed with a variety of different distance metrics, parallelization, and variable numbers of neighbors. Range-based searches (to find all neighbors within a certain distance) are also supported.
