Muhtasari	Local Ordinary Kriging (LOK) is a geostatistical interpolation method that estimates values at unsampled locations using only a spatially defined moving neighborhood of nearby observations. By restricting each prediction to a local data window rather than the full dataset, LOK accommodates spatial non-stationarity, reduces computational cost, and often yields more accurate local predictions than global ordinary kriging.	Ordinary Kriging (OK) is the standard geostatistical method for interpolating a continuous spatial variable at unsampled locations. It derives optimal, unbiased weights from the spatial covariance structure of the data, making it the Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (BLUP) under stationarity assumptions. Unlike simpler distance-based methods, it also provides a prediction uncertainty (kriging variance) at every interpolated point.
