Distance Data for the Different Levels of European NUTS Regions
Description
The presented dataset contains the centroid distance matrix for the different levels of the European Union's (EU) Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) regions in meters, as well as their code, name, level, and country identifier. Centroids are calculated based on the largest contiguous shape of regions. To support EU-related spatial, regional, and geographical studies, an R function is also attached that compiles the aforementioned dataset for the selected (or all) NUTS levels while complementing it with the geometrical data and centroids of regions. Optionally, this R function displays centroids on a map of Europe to ease the verification of their positions. Please cite as: • (Data in Brief article)
