compare_interpolation_methods: Compare interpolation methods

In geospatialsuite: Comprehensive Geospatiotemporal Analysis and Multimodal Integration Toolkit

Compare interpolation methods

Description

Compare multiple interpolation methods using cross-validation and return performance metrics for method selection.

Usage

compare_interpolation_methods(
  spatial_data,
  target_variable,
  methods = c("NN", "simple", "spline"),
  cv_folds = 5,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

spatial_data	Spatial data for interpolation
target_variable	Variable to interpolate
methods	Vector of methods to compare
cv_folds	Number of cross-validation folds
verbose	Print comparison results

Value

Data frame with method comparison results

Examples

## Not run: 
# These examples require external data files not included with the package
# Compare interpolation methods
method_comparison <- compare_interpolation_methods(
  soil_data,
  target_variable = "nitrogen",
  methods = c("NN", "simple", "spline"),
  cv_folds = 10
)

# View results
print(method_comparison)
# Best method
best_method <- method_comparison$method[which.min(method_comparison$rmse)]

## End(Not run)
