Kriging

Kriging is a statistical method used for predicting unknown values at specific locations based on measurements from surrounding points. It is commonly used in fields like geology, environmental science, and spatial analysis. The process involves creating a model that accounts for the spatial correlation of the data, meaning that values that are closer together are more likely to be similar. By combining this spatial relationship with the observed values, Kriging produces a smooth estimation of the unknown values, effectively creating a detailed map of predictions that can reveal trends and patterns in the data.
