| In other words, the central kernel weight remains with the old value and the remainder to 1 is split across the next neighbors according to the kernel weight given by their distance to the vertex. This approach takes both the neighborhood and the distance of vertices into account. | In other words, the central kernel weight remains with the old value and the remainder to 1 is split across the next neighbors according to the kernel weight given by their distance to the vertex.

| + | After the smoothing is performed, the mean of the map is adjusted to reflect the original mean value (to counter rounding errors if a high number of iterations was used), **if and only if** the standard deviation is not smaller than the sum (for most skewed maps this is the case). | ||
