Kriging is a stochastic interpolation method that not only predicts unknown values at unsampled locations but also provides estimates of the uncertainty of the predictions. It uses variograms to model spatial correlation and variance, making it distinct from deterministic methods like inverse distance weighted, Thiessen polygons, and thin-plate splines.
