Kriging is a group of geostatistical techniques to interpolate the value of a random field (e.g. the elevation Z of the landscape as a function of the geographic location) at an unobserved location from observations of its value at nearby ...

Kriging techniques determine window configuration and weighting factors as a function of the spatial autocorrelation in the sample set.
6 Kriging
Of the methods which did not use elevation as ancillary information, kriging was most visually plausible. Kriging gave better results than optimal inverse distance when data were anisotropic.
The co-kriging uses beside semivariograms for each variable also cross-variograms for the variable couples. Let us consider the simple case of two variables.
kriging
An interpolation technique in which the surrounding measured values are weighted to derive a predicted value for an unmeasured location.
Kriging - A mathematical interpolation method based on the use of a generalized least-squares algorithm. It was first developed for mining applications but is now commonly used for 3-D geographic data processing.
