KrigingModelOrdinary
Summary
Defines the Ordinary Kriging model. The available model types are Spherical, Circular, Exponential, Gaussian, and Linear.
Discussion
The KrigingModelOrdinary object is used in the Kriging tool.
Ordinary Kriging assumes the model:
Z(s) = µ + ε(s)
The default value for lagSize is set to the default output cell size.
For majorRange, partialSill, and nugget, a default value will be calculated internally if nothing is specified.
Syntax
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
semivariogramType |
Semivariogram model to be used.
(The default value is SPHERICAL) | String |
lagSize |
The lag size to be used in model creation. The default is the output raster cell size. | Double |
majorRange |
Represents a distance beyond which there is little or no correlation. | Double |
partialSill |
The difference between the nugget and the sill. | Double |
nugget |
Represents the error and variation at spatial scales too fine to detect. The nugget effect is seen as a discontinuity at the origin. | Double |

Code Sample
Demonstrates how to create a KrigingModelOrdinary object and use it in the Kriging tool within the Python window.
import arcpy from arcpy import env from arcpy.sa import * env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data" kModelOrdinary = KrigingModelOrdinary("CIRCULAR", 70000, 250000, 180000, 34000) outKrigingOrd1 = Kriging("ca_ozone_pts.shp", "ELEVATION", kModelOrdinary, 2000, RadiusVariable(),"") outKrigingOrd1.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/kordinary1")
Calculates a Kriging surface using the KrigingModelOrdinary object.
