Description
Summary:Coordinates of locations are sometimes jittered in publicly available geostatistical datasets for privacy reasons such as data protection. This paper aims to analyse the effect of jittering on the actual measurements recorded at each location by using a few spatial interpolation methods on simulated data and actual data. The differences in measurements collected for both when the data has been jittered and not jittered are analysed. Factors explaining the differences include the distribution of data and the spatial interpolation method used.
