Additional file 1 of A novel adaptation of spatial interpolation methods to map health attitudes related to COVID-19

Additional file 1: A detailed explanation of the spatial interpolation process. An explanation of Fraym’s interpolation process is detailed further in Appendix A. A summary explanation of the interpolation process used by Fraym can also be found within the article by Brugh et al. coauthored by individuals also employed by Fraym. Some of these authors supported this research and served as reviewers to this article and are highlighted under Acknowledgements. The authors felt the interpolation process is a critical piece of context for this study, but not the subject of the study, so included this explanation as additional data file 1 rather than include it within the body of the article or rely solely on a reference to the previous publication. Sources [35] and [36] are only referred to in Appendix A, not within the manuscript.

附加文件1：空间插值（spatial interpolation）过程详细说明。Fraym的插值流程的详细说明详见附录A。Fraym所采用的插值流程的概要说明，也可参阅由Fraym在职人员共同执笔的布鲁赫（Brugh）等人的研究论文。其中部分作者为本研究提供了支持，并担任了本文的审稿人，相关信息已在致谢部分注明。作者团队认为，插值流程是本研究的关键背景内容，但并非研究主题本身，因此将该说明作为附加数据文件1呈现，而非纳入正文，也未仅通过引用既往文献的方式进行说明。参考文献[35]与[36]仅在附录A中被引用，未在正文中出现。
