Interpolation and Trend Surface Analysis in Advanced Spatial Analysis and Modeling
Introduction
'In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, interpolation is a method of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points. Surface interpolation functions make predictions from sample measurements...
Point Pattern Analysis in Advanced Spatial Analysis and Modeling
Introduction
The analysis of point data in space, in order to obtain patterns in the points that inform something about the underlying process that generated the points, is often termed as point pattern analysis (Fotheringham et al. 2000). The...
