The KRIGE2D Procedure

Syntax: KRIGE2D Procedure

The following statements are available in PROC KRIGE2D:

PROC KRIGE2D options ;: BY variables ;; COORDINATES | COORD coordinate-variables ;; GRID grid-options ;; PREDICT | PRED | P predict-options ;; MODEL model-options ;

The PREDICT and MODEL statements are hierarchical; the PREDICT statement is followed by a MODEL statement. If more than one MODEL statement is given, only the last one is used for the analysis. The MODEL statement following a PREDICT statement uses the variable and neighborhood specifications in that PREDICT statement.

You must specify at least one PREDICT statement and one MODEL statement. You must supply a single COORDINATES statement to identify the $\text{[math]}$ and $\text{[math]}$ coordinate variables in the input data set. You must also specify a single GRID statement to include the grid information.

The following table outlines the options available in PROC KRIGE2D classified by function.
