ArcGIS for Desktop Extensions: ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst
Features > Model 

Model

ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst creates precise predictions with multivariate statistical methods. Where data is incomplete or subject to error, ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst provides a probabilistic framework for quantifying uncertainties.


 

Interpolation

Create surfaces from sample data using these interpolation methods:

  • Inverse distance weighted
  • Radial-based functions, which include the following kernels
    • Thin plate spline
    • Spline with tension
    • Multiquadratic
    • Inverse multiquadratic
    • Completely regularized spline kernels
  • Global and local polynomials
  • Kriging for exact data and for error-contaminated data
    • Ordinary, for data with unknown constant mean value
    • Simple, for data with known mean value
    • Universal, for data with mean value as a function on coordinates
    • Indicator, for discrete data or data transformed to discrete
    • Probability, for discrete data as primary variable and continuous data as secondary variables
    • Disjunctive, for nonlinear predictions
  • Cokriging (multivariate version of the above-mentioned kriging models)
  • Isotropical or anisotropical models
 


Kriging Output Surface Types
  • Prediction
  • Prediction standard error (measure of the prediction quantity)
  • Probability map (probability that specified threshold value is exceeded)
  • Error of indicators (measure of the probability map uncertainty)
  • Quantile map (over- and underpredicted values)


Modeling Tools for Kriging
  • Data transformations
    • Box–Cox
    • Logarithmic
    • Arcsine
    • Normal score

    • Models (four can be used simultaneously)
      • Nugget
      • Circular
      • Spherical
      • Tetraspherical
      • Pentaspherical
      • Exponential
      • Gaussian
      • Rational quadratic
      • Hole effect
      • K-Bessel
      • J-Bessel
      • Stable
    • Semivariogram/Covariance surface
    • Anisotropy
    • Specifying or estimating the proportion of measurement error in the nugget
    • Cross-covariance option for shift between variables
    • Estimation of all or part of the model parameters by a modified weighted least squares algorithm
  • Declustering
    • Cell
    • Polygonal
  • Checking for data bivariate distribution


Searching Neighborhood

To select neighboring data to predict the value for the target point

  • Ellipse with one, four, or eight angular sectors
  • Minimum and maximum number of points in each sector
