Need to check layers type

Question

I have list of layers opened in ArcMap. 
1. I need to check which layer is Point Layer (not Line or Polygon)... now i use 
if (layer is IFeatureClass) but of course it add line and polygon layers too

2. And i need to check which layer is Geostatistical Layer and just it...now i use
if (layer is IRasterLayer) but its have many varients and i need just geostatistical layer

Can anybody help me (better with examples on c#)?:)

com.esri.arcgis.geostatisticalanalyst.GPGALayer

The Interface to this class would be IGPLayer or IDEGeoDataset.

It seems that geostatistical layers are really just referencing the source of their input layers?

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#/What_is_a_geostatistical_layer/00310000005z000000/
http://help.arcgis.com/en/sdk/10.0/arcobjects_net/componenthelp/index.html#/esriDatasetType_Constants/002500000042000000/

I played around with it briefly and it seems to return 5-esriDTFeatureClass for some outputs, and 12-esriDTRasterDataset for other Geostatistical Layers.

There must be some way to identify geostatistical layers though, obviously you can find a specific layer using the name in the TOC, but I'm not sure how you could identify just those layers created using geostatistical analyst.  Sounds like a question for an MVP or support...

However, a GeoStatistical Analyst layer does have some unique aspects, with additional information in the TOC and a different context menu, so there must be some way of differentiating it. I just can't find any coclasses that implement ILayer which would represent a GeoStatistical layer.
