Inverse distance weighting

Inverse distance weighting (IDW) is a type of deterministic method for multivariate interpolation with a known homogeneously scattered set of points. The assigned values to unknown points are calculated with a weighted average of the values available at the known points. This method can also be used to create spatial weights matrices in spatial…
