Geostatistics models spatial dependence for estimation and prediction. A mean or drift describes systematic variation, while a covariogram or semivariogram describes residual dependence. Kriging combines the two for spatial prediction.
Geostatistics is a branch of statistics that focuses on spatial data analysis and the modeling of spatially correlated random variables. It is particularly useful in fields such as geology, meteorology, environmental science, mining, and agriculture, where the spatial location of data points plays a critical role in understanding and predicting phenomena.
