REVIEWOFSOMEASPECTSOFKRIGING
Kriging isan interpoa l it on technique. Given a set of a d a

conventional methods such asopi t mal inverse distance weighi t ng
(see, for instance,Kane et al., 198 2 ), r t end surface analysis s ( ee
Agterberg, 1974 ) , butkriging offers ai d stinct advantage incertain
cases,a p rticularly where e ht ad at ah ve ih gh natural variability.
