fields is a contributed package to the
R Project for Statistical Computing
and is a suite of well documented functions focused on fitting
curves and surface to irregular data. The major methods
implemented include cubic and thin plate splines, universal Kriging
and Kriging for large data sets. There are also some useful functions
for plotting and manipulating fields on regular grids.
