Ordinary kriging is a geostatistical interpolation method that estimates unknown values at specific locations based on the spatial correlation of known data points. It uses weighted averages of nearby known values, with weights determined by the distance between points and the spatial autocorrelation structure, often expressed through a variogram. This method provides not only estimates of the unknown values but also a measure of uncertainty for each estimate.
congrats on reading the definition of ordinary kriging. now let's actually learn it.
