Trend surface analysis is the most widely used global surface-fitting procedure. The mapped data are approximated by a polynomial expansion of the geographic coordinates of the control points, and the coefficients of the polynomial function are found by the method of least squares, insuring that the sum of the squared deviations from the trend surface is a minimum. 4, record 2, English, - trend%20surface%20analysis

Autre type de filtrage, l'analyse par surfaces de tendance ou «trend surface analysis» [...] a pour objet de filtrer, à partir d'une carte numérisée, 2 composantes : la tendance régionale (surface) et les fluctuations locales (résidus). 6, record 2, French, - analyse%20par%20surfaces%20de%20tendance

Une méthode pour s'affranchir des variations locales est l'établissement d'une «surface de dérive» («trend surface analysis») destinée à visualiser par ses altitudes en chaque point la variation d'ensemble du caractère. La méthode consiste à représenter approximativement cette variation par un polynôme en x et y, de degré n convenablement choisi, dont les coefficients seront déterminés par ajustement au moyen de la méthode des moindres carrés [...] La surface de dérive représentée par ce polynôme doit en principe [...] passer le plus près possible des points de mesure affectés chacun d'une altitude égale à la valeur mesurée. 3, record 2, French, - analyse%20par%20surfaces%20de%20tendance

«L'analyse du comportement des surfaces» nous fournit une méthode objective, pour construire sur une carte les contours de variation d'une variable quelconque, qui a été mesurée en différents points du terrain. Les changements de la variable en fonction polynomiale des coordonnées rectilignes permettent une estimation de contours par une méthode des moindres carrés. 7, record 2, French, - analyse%20par%20surfaces%20de%20tendance

The ZAF and PAP correction schemes are based on first principles and provide data reduction for all operating conditions. The PAP method uses a modified version of the phi(rho-Z) polynomial used in standard ZAF correction scheme which better accounts for the depth distribution of energies produced from the sample. Otherwise, PAP is identical to ZAF. 1, record 3, English, - ZAF%20correction
