Interpolate inverse-distance-weighted measures.

Interpolate inverse-distance-weighted measures for each x coordinate using measures taken at surrounding y coordinates. Ending measures are weighted by inverse distance so that surrounding measures taken in nearby areas are given more weight in final average.

dist_weighted_mean(x_df, y_df, measure_col, x_id = "id", x_lon_col = "lon",
  x_lat_col = "lat", y_lon_col = "lon", y_lat_col = "lat",
  dist_function = "Haversine", dist_transform = "level", decay = 2)

Arguments
