Abstract:

Inverse distance weighting (IDW) is a simple method for multivariate interpolation but has poor prediction accuracy. In this article we show that the prediction accu- racy of IDW can be substantially improved by integrating it with a linear regression model. This new predictor is quite flexible, computationally efficient, and works well in problems having high dimensions and/or large data sets. We also develop a heuristic method for constructing confidence intervals for prediction.
