Inverse Distance Weighting as a sum of all weighting functions for each sample point. Each function has the value of one of the samples at its sample point and zero at every other sample point. Inverse distance weighting ( IDW ) is a type of deterministic method for multivariate interpolation with a known scattered set of points.
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 ]
Waldo Tobler in front of the Newberry Library. Chicago, November 2007. The First Law of Geography, according to Waldo Tobler, is "everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things." [1] This first law is the foundation of the fundamental concepts of spatial dependence and spatial autocorrelation and is utilized specifically for the inverse distance ...
Compute the Euclidean or Mahalanobis distance from the query example to the labeled examples. Order the labeled examples by increasing distance. Find a heuristically optimal number k of nearest neighbors, based on RMSE. This is done using cross validation. Calculate an inverse distance weighted average with the k-nearest multivariate neighbors.

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 ().
In weighted least squares, the definition is often written in matrix notation as =, where r is the vector of residuals, and W is the weight matrix, the inverse of the input (diagonal) covariance matrix of observations.
