Head-Bang 2.1.1 for ArcMap integrates the Head-Bang smoothing algorithm
software into the ESRI ArcMap™ mapping software. It takes data from a
shapefile or table within ArcMap and processes a selected field to remove data
spikes.
Head-banging is a geographic process and uses region centroids to calculate neighbor
regions. Head-Bang for ArcMap will compute the centroids automatically, or you can
specify columns that hold x y data of the points.
Citations for the methods and applications of the head-bang algorithm are as follows.
