Look at the "Advanced Linking" and "Performance" tutorials to understand what subnetworks are and how we try to speed them up. All of the link_strategy
options except 'drop'
implement the same algorithm and are tested to have the same results; they are just implemented/optimized differently. Avoid drop
unless you want trackpy to throw out subnetworks instead of trying to solve them.
With few exceptions, you should use a K-tree even if you suspect a B-tree may be more appropriate for your data. The reason is that scipy's K-tree implementation is highly optimized (and written in C). Of course you can always try each and see which one is faster for you.
Thanks a lot for the explanation!
Hi there,
I have tried to find an explanation for the different link_strategy options, however I have managed to find only this:
Could you help me find the right documentation for such feature or explain me what effect has each option?
One more question. I have found on Wikipedia the theory behind K-tree and B-tree. However, it is not clear when it is more convenient to adopt the first or the latter method. Could you clarify this, please?
Thanks a lot for the support! Ciro
