SearchNeighborhoodStandard3D

Summary

The SearchNeighborhoodStandard3D class can be used to define the three dimensional search neighborhood for the Empirical Bayesian Kriging 3D tool.

Syntax

SearchNeighborhoodStandard3D({radius}, {nbrMax}, {nbrMin}, {sectorType})

Name Explanation Data type

radius

(Optional)

The distance, in map units, specifying the length of the radius of the search neighborhood.

Double

nbrMax

(Optional)

The maximum number of neighbors, within the search radius, to use when making the prediction.

Long

nbrMin

(Optional)

The minimum number of neighbors, within the search radius, to use when making the prediction.

Long

sectorType

(Optional)

The sector type of the search neighborhood. The search neighborhood can be divided into 1, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 20 sectors. Each sector type is based on a Platonic solid.

  • ONE_SECTOR—1 Sector (Sphere)

  • FOUR_SECTORS—4 Sectors (Tetrahedron)

  • SIX_SECTORS—6 Sectors (Cube)

  • EIGHT_SECTORS—8 Sectors (Octahedron)

  • TWELVE_SECTORS—12 Sectors (Dodecahedron)

  • TWENTY_SECTORS—20 Sectors (Icosahedron)
