Here weight decreases as distance increases from the interpolated points. Greater values of formula_14 assign greater influence to values closest to the interpolated point, with the result turning into a mosaic of tiles (a Voronoi diagram) with nearly constant interpolated value for large values of "p". For two dimensions, power parameters formula_16 cause the interpolated values to be dominated by points far away, since with a density formula_17 of data points and neighboring points between distances formula_18 to formula_19, the summed weight is approximately
