Compliance analysis in polynomial surface determination with ANOVA

Abstract

Geoid determination has always been an important subject of study. Geoid determination is
the modelling that enables us to determine the height of a point whose position is known.
While determining the geoid, it is very important to state the degree of the surface. At first
sight which degree polynomial surface will be used or appropriate point distribution is
unknown for the work area. A significance test should be performed to determine the most
appropriate degree of polynomial with regression analysis. This study tried to determine the
best fit polynomial geoid for the region where Ondokuz Mayis University is located in
Samsun.
