Summary
The SearchNeighborhoodSmoothCircular class can be used to define the search neighborhood for Empirical Bayesian Kriging, IDW, Local Polynomial Interpolation, and Radial Basis Functions (only when the INVERSE_MULTIQUADRIC_FUNCTION keyword is used). The class accepts inputs for the radius of the searching circle and a smoothing factor.
Syntax
SearchNeighborhoodSmoothCircular ({radius}, {smoothFactor})| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
radius | The distance, in map units, specifying the length of the radius of the searching circle. | Double |
smoothFactor | Determines how much smoothing will be performed. 0 is no smoothing; 1 is the maximum amount of smoothing. | Double |
Properties
