Summary
The SearchNeighborhoodStandardCircular class can be used to define the search neighborhood for Empirical Bayesian Kriging, IDW, Local Polynomial Interpolation, and Radial Basis Functions.
Syntax
SearchNeighborhoodStandardCircular ({radius}, {angle}, {nbrMax}, {nbrMin}, {sectorType})| Parameter | Explanation | Data 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 |
