Geographic Information Systems GIS Analysis and Modeling
5. (6) Spatial Interpolation • Predict the unknown value at a location using the known values at surrounding area • Linear interpolation • Thiessen polygon • Inverse distance weighted • Trend surface • Fourier series • Kriging
5. (6) Spatial Interpolation • Linear interpolation Known and predicted values after interpolation Known values
5. (6) Spatial Interpolation • Thiessen polygon - Defines area of influence around a point in a way that polygon boundaries are equidistant to neighboring points
Obstetrical Delivery Hospital Regions(Constructed Using Thiessen Polygons): North Carolina, 1989 This map uses Thiessen polygons to construct regions: in this case, obstetrical delivery hospital regions. This technique can be utilized with little technology, using nodal points to construct polygons and, ultimately, regions.

5. (6) Spatial Interpolation • Inverse Distance weighted - IDW works by using a weight based on the distances from an unknown value to known values © Paul Bolstad, GIS Fundamentals Arthur Lambor, Cornel University
5. (6) Spatial Interpolation • Trend surface - Polynomial regression to fit a least-square surface to the input points First-order (linear) trend surface Second-order (quadratic) trend surface http://geography.sdsu.edu/People/Pages/jankowski/public_html/Lect811.ppt#276,2,What is Spatial Interpolation?
Trends of one, two, and three independent variables for polynomial equations of the first, second, and third orders (after Harbaugh, 1964).
5. (6) Spatial Interpolation • Fourier series Single harmonic in X1 direction Two harmonics in X1 direction Single harmonic in both X1 and X2directions Two harmonics in both directions
5. (6) Spatial Interpolation • Kriging - It takes one step further from inverse distance weighted interpolation because it accounts for not only the distances between a location with unknown value to the locations with known values, but also distances between the location with known values Arthur Lambor, Cornel University

5. (7) Proximity Analysis (Buffering) • The identification of a zone of interest around an entity or a set of entities
Buffering http://www.sdsmt.edu/online-courses/geology/mprice/geo416/lecture9.ppt
Buffering A multi-distance buffer (each ring is 150 m) A single distance buffer (250 m) http://geology.wlu.edu/harbor/geol260/lecture_notes/notes_location1.html
5. (8) Network Analysis • A network is a set of interconnected lines making up a set of features through which resources can flow • The shortest path problem • The traveling salesperson problem • Location-allocation
The Shortest Path Problem • An evaluation of links and turns required to traverse a network between required stops • It can be the shortest, fastest, or least-costly route between any number of origins and destinations, with any number of intermediate points
The Shortest Path Problem • Shortest and fastest routes http://www.caliper.com/TransCAD/ApplicationModules.htm
The Shortest Path Problem • Traffic assignment http://www.caliper.com/TransCAD/ApplicationModules.htm
The Traveling Salesperson Problem • An evaluation of best sequence to visit each of a set of stops and the best route between the stops http://www.caliper.com/TransCAD/ApplicationModules.htm
