Question

Interpolation is made possible by a principle called

• A. \( \text{Spatial Autocorrelation} \)
• B. \( \text{Spatial Auto-correction} \)
• C. \( \text{Thematic Autocorrelation} \)
• D. \( \text{Thematic auto-correction} \)

Hint:

Think of spatial autocorrelation as the idea that your neighbors' house prices are likely more similar to yours than houses across the city.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Interpolation in spatial analysis is made possible by the principle of spatial autocorrelation. This principle states that things that are closer together are more alike than things that are farther apart. Because of this spatial dependence, we can estimate unknown values at unsampled locations based on the values of nearby sampled locations.
