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 ...
Inverse distance weighting; ABOS - approximation based on smoothing; Kriging; Gradient-enhanced kriging (GEK) Thin plate spline; Polyharmonic spline (the thin-plate-spline is a special case of a polyharmonic spline) Radial basis function (Polyharmonic splines are a special case of radial basis functions with low degree polynomial terms) Least ...
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 ().

Inverse distance weighting; Radial basis function (RBF) — a function of the form ƒ(x) = φ(|x−x 0 |) Polyharmonic spline — a commonly used radial basis function; Thin plate spline — a specific polyharmonic spline: r 2 log r; Hierarchical RBF; Subdivision surface — constructed by recursively subdividing a piecewise linear interpolant
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).

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 ...
