1. The document discusses using an adaptive general regression neural network (GRNN) for automatic mapping of environmental data.
2. A GRNN is a modification of the Nadaraya-Watson nonparametric regressor that can perform nonlinear modeling, feature selection, and characterize uncertainties to produce quality maps.
3. An illustrative case study applies GRNN to precipitation data in Switzerland, showing it can automatically filter out irrelevant variables and produce accurate interpolation maps and uncertainty analyses of residuals.
