An algorithm for selecting a good value for the parameter \(c\) in radial basis function interpolation. (English) Zbl 0943.65017

Rippa, Shmuel

Adv. Comput. Math. 11, No. 2-3, 193-210 (1999).

The author studies the effect of a shape parameter \(c\) on the quality of fit of the multiquadric, inverse multiquadric and Gaussian interpolants. He presents an algorithm for selecting an optimal value for \(c\) and 15 numerical examples rich illustrated.
