Re: AI-GEOSTATS: Kriging versus inv. Dist. Weighting

Hi Tomislav, Don't be surprised. It is my experience that cross-validation might sometimes indicate that best interpolation results are obtained using the simplest techniques. If your observations are not too clustered and display no anisotropy, inverse square distance could yield good results.

AI-GEOSTATS: Kriging the earth

2002-11-15 Thread Ian Glacken
I have a very interesting problem - I need to interpolate a geophysical parameter into the earth. Using a latitude/longitude coordinate system isn't good enough as I need to interpolate throughout the earth's interior. If possible I would like to avoid unwrapping or unfolding the earth as
