A quick tour of the Geostatistical Analyst arcpy classes

Geostatistical Analyst classes are primarily used for defining parameters for Geostatistical Analyst tools that may have a varying number of arguments depending on the parameter type selected (for example, the search neighborhood). By using classes for parameters, you can access and programmatically change any of the individual entries in the parameter within a model script.

The SearchNeighborhoodSmooth and SearchNeighborhoodStandard classes are used to specify the parameters that are used to select which data is used in the search neighborhood of the interpolation process.

The CrossValidationResult class is used to access the output properties from the Cross Validation tool.

Geostatistical Analyst classes

Class	Description
CrossValidationResult	The CrossValidationResult class is returned by the Cross Validation tool and contains access to the cross-validation results that can be generated for any geostatistical layer.
SearchNeighborhoodSmooth	The SearchNeighborhoodSmooth class can be used to define the search neighborhood for IDW, Local Polynomial Interpolation, and Radial Basis Functions (only when the INVERSE_MULTIQUADRIC_FUNCTION keyword is used). The smooth search neighborhood class accepts inputs for a minor and major axis, the size of search ellipse, the angle of the search ellipse, and a smoothing factor.
SearchNeighborhoodStandard	The SearchNeighborhoodStandard class can be used to define the search neighborhood for IDW, Local Polynomial Interpolation, and Radial Basis Functions.
