Summary

The SearchNeighborhoodStandardCircular class can be used to define the search neighborhood for Empirical Bayesian Kriging, IDW, Local Polynomial Interpolation, and Radial Basis Functions.

Learn more about search neighborhoods

Syntax

SearchNeighborhoodStandardCircular ({radius}, {angle}, {nbrMax}, {nbrMin}, {sectorType})
ParameterExplanationData Type
radius

The distance, in map units, specifying the length of the radius of the searching circle.

Double
angle

The angle of the search circle. This parameter will only affect the angle of the sectors.

Double
nbrMax

Maximum number of neighbors, within the search ellipse, to use when making the prediction.

Long
nbrMin

Minimum number of neighbors, within the search ellipse, to use when making the prediction.

Long
sectorType

The searching ellipse can be divided into 1, 4, 4 with an offset of 45º, or 8 sectors.

String

Properties

PropertyExplanationData Type
angle
(Read and Write)

Double
nbrMax
(Read and Write)

Maximum number of neighbors, within the search ellipse, to use when making the prediction.

Long
nbrMin
(Read and Write)

Minimum number of neighbors, within the search ellipse, to use when making the prediction.

Long
nbrType
(Read Only)

The neighborhood type: Smooth or Standard.

String
sectorType
(Read and Write)

The searching ellipse can be divided into 1, 4, 4 with an offset of 45º, or 8 sectors.
