2. Interpolation methods
There are different ways of classifying the interpolation methods. Probably my approach does not satisfy strict mathematical requirements, but attempts to clarify the issue for the wide community of people using GIS.
Each interpolation technique was compared on the basis of bias, mean absolute error (MAE), and mean squared error (MSE).
Under the Output Interpolation method select 'Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW)'. Click the tool icon to define the settings for IDW. This will allow you to set the 'Distance coefficient P'.

Interpolation
Interpolation is the procedure of predicting unknown values using the known values at neighboring locations.
Interpolation: Process of inserting, estimating, or finding a value intermediate to the values of two or more known points in space. Estimation of an elevation value at an unsampled point based on the known elevation values of surrounding points.

[edit] Interpolation and extrapolation
Regression models predict a value of the y variable given known values of the x variables. Prediction within the range of values is known as interpolation.
Spatial Interpolation, on the other hand, utilizes spatial patterns in a data set to generate localized estimates throughout the sampled area.
Interpolation is the process of estimating a value at a location (x, y) from assumed or measured values at other locations (x1, y1), ..., (xN, yN).
Interpolation - A mathematical formula that estimates, for example, z values of a surface at an unsampled point based on the known z values of surrounding points.

Address Interpolation-- Addresses within the United States are geocoded using software that accesses U.S. postal data files. These files contain street segments with address ranges attached to each side of the segment.
[edit] Address interpolation
A simple method of geocoding is address interpolation. This method makes use of data from a street geographic information system where the street network is already mapped within the geographic coordinate space.

212 a geostatistical technique for interpolation that uses information about the spatial autocorrelation in the vicinity of each point to provide 'optimal' interpolation (in the sense of greater use of the information provided by the spatial ...

The grids for the fuel moisture codes (FFMC, DMC, and DC) are built using both interpolation and calculation.
This involves a variety of point interpolation techniques including slope and aspect calculations, contour generation, and Thiessen polygons.
You can do the same interpolation between the 100 ft and 56 ft points (near top center), and likewise for any other pair of points. This process leads to a large number of interpolation lines of different contour (elevation) values.
These three techniques are Linear interpolation, which effectively runs a straight line between the points with altitude values, the Cubic Spline, which interpolates a smooth curve through the given data points, ...
PondPack's powerful graphing suite also provides automatic variable interpolation tools to solve for intermediate x or y data points at any specified point on a curve.
Kriging - A mathematical interpolation method based on the use of a generalized least-squares algorithm. It was first developed for mining applications but is now commonly used for 3-D geographic data processing.

A variation of the third possibility is that interpolation is performed.
