PLATFORM | UNIX (DEC Alpha, SGI Challenger) Also required are FORTRAN and C compilers and "ghostview" for viewing PostScript files |
PURPOSE | Spatial interpolation programs using spherical geometry |
FUNCTIONS | ESDA + variogram can be automatically fitted ESTIMATIONS + All of the interpolation algorithms in Spherekit take account of the sphericity of the earth. + Inverse distance weighting + Triangulation + Ordinary point kriging + Multiquadratic + Thin plate spline + cross validation: error field, table of error summary statistics, histogram, and a scatterplot. The overall error is computed either as the mean average error (MAE) or the root mean square error (RMSE). OTHERS + Contouring and raster output |
CODES | Fortran and C codes available |
