a)Nearest neighbor interpolation.
-In nearest neighbor interpolation, each location is assigned the value of the closest measured point.
Effectively, existing point values are assigned zones or location.
b)Thiessen polygons
-Polygons generated from a set of sample points. Each thiessen polygon defines an area of influence around its sample point, so that any location inside the polygon is closer to that point than any of the other sample points.
