interpolation - Kriging values greater than the most extreme value of the input layer?


I'll admit I don't understand kriging to the fullest. Yet, I've read that the weights should add up to 1 as in IDW and Natural Neighbors.


However, surrounding the biggest elevation points of my vector layer, I get some raster cells with greater values.



Answer




There are different types of kriging, which make different assumptions.


Simple kriging assumes a known mean for the total extent and ordinary kriging assume a local mean defined within a radius. With those you should not predict larger values than your largest observed value.


Universal kriging assumes a general polynomial trend model. The polynomial might fit with out of range value (kriging works then on the residues)
