Bayesian Universal Kriging

Bayesian Universal Kriging (BUK) extends classical universal kriging by placing prior distributions on trend coefficients and spatial covariance parameters, then propagating full posterior uncertainty into predictions. It interpolates spatially referenced continuous data while simultaneously estimating large-scale deterministic trends driven by covariates and small-scale stochastic spatial dependence, yielding prediction intervals that honestly account for both parameter and interpolation uncertainty.
