Kriging/Evidence
Method evidence record

Kriging

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.
