estimation

name summary used in
Search Neighborhood: radius is in meters along the major axis of the search ellipsoid (rotation azimuth, dip, rake and ratios semi/major, minor/major), or of the variogram's anisotropy when no ellipsoid is given. 72
calibrate_search Scores candidate searches for a fitted estimator, one row per scenario, to compare side by side. 1
neighborhood_stats Distances and value statistics of the k nearest samples around targets; n_holes counts distinct holes within radius; values and holes may name columns of coords.
HighGrade High-grade restriction of a Search: samples above threshold are left out (mode="drop") or capped at threshold (mode="clamp") beyond radius of the target. 1
OrdinaryKriging Kriging with an unknown, locally constant mean (weights sum to 1). 31
SimpleKriging Kriging with a known global mean. 1
BlockKriging Ordinary kriging of block averages; targets are block centers of size. 14
UniversalKriging Kriging with a polynomial drift of degree in the coordinates. 2
ExternalDriftKriging Kriging with a polynomial drift of degree (0 by default) plus one column per external drift variable, evaluated at the samples with fit and at the targets with predict. 2
FactorialKriging Estimates only the selected components: structures by index, plus the nugget if asked.
DualKriging Global dual kriging with a polynomial drift of degree (no search).
BayesianKriging Kriging with a Gaussian prior on the drift coefficients.
Cokriging Cokriging of variable from samples of several variables under a linear model of coregionalization; means switches to simple cokriging. 2
IndicatorKriging Ordinary kriging of the indicator value <= threshold; estimates are probabilities. 1
MultipleIndicatorKriging Multiple indicator kriging: P(value <= t) kriged at every threshold, corrected for order relations, completed within classes and in the tails, and summarized at each target. 4
CategoricalIndicatorKriging Indicator kriging of categories: the probability of each category kriged from its indicator, clipped to [0, 1] and rescaled to sum 1 at each target. 4
MultigaussianKriging Multigaussian kriging: the values take a normal-score transform, the scores are simple-kriged about 0, and the Gaussian distribution of the score at each target, with the kriged mean and variance, is back-transformed into data units. 1
InverseDistance Inverse-distance weighting; a variogram supplies anisotropic distances. 13
NearestNeighbor 4
MovingAverage 2
MovingMedian
LocalLeastSquares Local polynomial of degree fitted to the neighbors.
