SPATIAL INTERPOLATIONS


Kriging

Kriging is an advanced geostatistical procedure that follows the theory of regional change. It considers spatial variation to be statistically consistent across the surface of the region.

The basic principle of Kriging interpolation is to assume that the spatial variation of an attribute is neither completely random nor completely determined but is codetermined by spatial autocorrelation factors, offsets, and random error.

Kriging is considered to be the best unbiased linear interpolation method.
