Using Natural Neighbour

Analysis

Using the Natural Neighbours technique, you can analyze point data that needs

to be mapped to discrete regions with constant values assigned to each point.

This section describes how to perform natural neighbour analysis:

• natural neighbours

• how to create regions from points

• how to calculate a region area
