The Spatial Thematic Observation Modeling Process (STOMP) method and software is a Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) effort using Esri GIS software. The STOMP finds polygon and centerline feature relationships beyond distributed sample points. This measures the likelihoods of specified feature event combinations from combined polygon, centerline, and sample point coverages within the GIS. It complements the current ArcInfo GeoStatistical Analyst software when looking at spatial thematic phenomena. The STOMP is described further here.
