Guest lecture, code, and assignment on spatial interpolation prepared for USUs GEOG 4870/6870 undergrad/graduate students. Britta Schumacher, April 2021
If you are participating in the lecture, I suggest you follow along with my Exerise14-SpatialInterpolation.Rmd, by either following along with the .html or, better yet, delete all text in the code chunks and type it out for yourself! Download the Week14-interpolation-assignment.Rmd for your assignment!
- What is spatial interpolation?
- Useful functions to know for predicting data surfaces from sample points
