Σύνοψη	Kriging is a geostatistical method that predicts the value of a continuous variable at unmeasured locations from nearby measurements, using the spatial correlation structure captured by a variogram. Formalised by Georges Matheron in 1963, it is the best linear unbiased predictor (BLUP) for spatial data and comes in Ordinary, Universal, and Co-Kriging forms.	Ordinary Least Squares is the classical linear regression method that explains a continuous outcome as a linear combination of predictors. It estimates the coefficients by minimising the sum of squared residuals, and under the Gauss-Markov assumptions these estimates are the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE).
