Aug 23, 2019 at 20:57 comment added Spacedman I've just tried playing with the Gale-Shapley functions from the matchingR package using a negative distance matrix as the utility and am getting interesting and feasible results - any use?
Aug 23, 2019 at 11:02 comment added Kenji I know that the points represent one of the buildings in the same 100x100m grid cell. Your solution of iterating and removing would not lead to long distances if I restricted the matches to the same cell. Do you think that this would be feasible on datasets with over 20000 points and polygons?
Aug 23, 2019 at 10:57 comment added Spacedman You could loop over the data, matching the nearest point/poly pair then removing them from the data for the next iteration. But you might end up with a final point/poly a long distance away. If that's okay then fine. But to find the set of pairings that minimises the total inter-pair distance sounds a bit like a travelling salesperson problem in complexity terms...
