Examples in Context

  1. 【 Method 】 Data were analyzed with the traditional statistical analysis method, the geo-statistical analysis with semivariogram structure and model fitting, the ordinary Kriging and the inverse distance weighting method.
  2. The study selects some representative methods of estimation in spatial variables as objects, including Inverse Distance Weighting(IDW) in the traditional space estimation;
  3. Moreover, three estimation methods ( bi-linear interpolation, inverse distance weighting method and the correlation coefficient method ) were compared and the results showed that there was no absolutely optimal way.
  4. Because the root mean square error is more important, ordinary kriging interpolation was better than inverse distance weighting, which was better than simple Kriging method.
  5. Improvement Research on Inverse Distance Weighting(IDW) Method Based on Dynamic Voronoi Diagram
