R Implementation of a Polyhedral Approximation to a 3D Set of Points Using the ?-Shape

This work presents the implementation in R of the ?-shape of a finite set of points in the three-dimensional space R3. This geometric structure generalizes the convex hull and allows to recover the shape of non-convex and even non-connected sets in 3D, given a ran- dom sample of points taken into it...
