is a simple IDW weighting function, as defined by Shepard, [3] x denotes an interpolated (arbitrary) point, x i is an interpolating (known) point, is a given distance (metric operator) from the known point x i to the unknown point x, N is the total number of known points used in interpolation and is a positive real number, called the power ...

For normally distributed random variables inverse-variance weighted averages can also be derived as the maximum likelihood estimate for the true value. Furthermore, from a Bayesian perspective the posterior distribution for the true value given normally distributed observations and a flat prior is a normal distribution with the inverse-variance weighted average as a mean and variance ().
Natural neighbor interpolation with Sibson weights. The area of the green circles are the interpolating weights, w i.The purple-shaded region is the new Voronoi cell, after inserting the point to be interpolated (black dot).
Inverse probability weighting is a statistical technique for estimating quantities related to a population other than the one from which the data was collected. Study designs with a disparate sampling population and population of target inference (target population) are common in application. [ 1 ]
In a multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagram, the distance between a point and a site is divided by the (positive) weight of the site. [1] In the plane under the ordinary Euclidean distance , the multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagram is also called circular Dirichlet tessellation [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and its edges are circular arcs and straight ...
In general, a distance matrix is a weighted adjacency matrix of some graph. In a network, a directed graph with weights assigned to the arcs, the distance between two nodes of the network can be defined as the minimum of the sums of the weights on the shortest paths joining the two nodes (where the number of steps in the path is bounded).
