สรุป	Cokriging extends kriging to use one or more correlated secondary variables to improve prediction of a primary variable. When the variable of interest is sparsely sampled but a related, cheaper-to-measure variable is densely sampled, cokriging borrows strength from the secondary variable through their cross-correlation, yielding more accurate interpolations and prediction variances than kriging the primary variable alone.	Inverse distance weighting is a simple, deterministic method for estimating values at unsampled locations by taking a weighted average of nearby measured points, where closer points carry more weight. Introduced by Donald Shepard in 1968, it embodies the first law of geography — near things are more related than distant things — and is one of the most widely used interpolation methods in GIS for mapping continuous fields such as rainfall, elevation, or pollution from scattered samples.
