Grid table data using a "Nearest neighbor" algorithm
**nearneighbor** reads arbitrarily located (*x,y,z*\ [,\ *w*]) triples
[quadruplets] and uses a nearest neighbor algorithm to assign a weighted
average value to each node that has one or more data points within a search
radius centered on the node with adequate coverage across a subset of the
chosen sectors. The node value is computed as a weighted mean of the
nearest point from each sector inside the search radius. The weighting
function and the averaging used is given by:
.. math::
w(r_i) = \frac{{w_i}}{{1 + d(r_i) ^ 2}},
\quad d(r) = \frac {{3r}}{{R}},
\quad \bar{{z}} = \frac{{\sum_i^n w(r_i) z_i}}{{\sum_i^n w(r_i)}}
where :math:`n` is the number of data points that satisfy the selection
criteria and :math:`r_i` is the distance from the node to the *i*'th data
point. If no data weights are supplied then :math:`w_i = 1`.
.. figure:: https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/dev/_images/GMT_nearneighbor.png # noqa: W505
:width: 300 px
:align: center
Search geometry includes the search radius (R) which limits the points
considered and the number of sectors (here 4), which restricts how
points inside the search radius contribute to the value at the node.
Only the closest point in each sector (red circles) contribute to the
weighted estimate.
Takes a matrix, xyz triples, or a file name as input.
Must provide either ``data`` or ``x``, ``y``, and ``z``.

Parameters
----------
data : str or {table-like}
Pass in (x, y, z) or (longitude, latitude, elevation) values by
providing a file name to an ASCII data table, a 2D
{table-classes}.
x/y/z : 1d arrays
Arrays of x and y coordinates and values z of the data points.
{I}
{R}
search_radius : str
Sets the search radius that determines which data points are considered
close to a node.
outgrid : str
Optional. The file name for the output netcdf file with extension .nc
to store the grid in.
empty : str
Optional. Set the value assigned to empty nodes. Defaults to NaN.
sectors : str
*sectors*\ [**+m**\ *min_sectors*]\|\ **n**.
Optional. The circular search area centered on each node is divided
into *sectors* sectors. Average values will only be computed if there
is *at least* one value inside each of at least *min_sectors* of the
sectors for a given node. Nodes that fail this test are assigned the
value NaN (but see ``empty``). If **+m** is omitted then *min_sectors*
is set to be at least 50% of *sectors* (i.e., rounded up to next
integer) [Default is a quadrant search with 100% coverage, i.e.,
*sectors* = *min_sectors* = 4]. Note that only the nearest value per
sector enters into the averaging; the more distant points are ignored.
Alternatively, use ``sectors="n"`` to call GDAL's nearest neighbor
algorithm instead.

Returns
-------
ret: xarray.DataArray or None
Return type depends on whether the ``outgrid`` parameter is set:
- :class:`xarray.DataArray`: if ``outgrid`` is not set
- None if ``outgrid`` is set (grid output will be stored in file set by
``outgrid``)
