During the process I consult the variograms and adjust parameters accordingly -- however, I noticed that the "optimize" feature in the Geospatial Wizard, which uses cross validation to optimize the kriging parameters, gives me equally accurate results.</P><P></P><P>I have many many layers that I wish to interpolate and I want to do this in a standalone Python script. However, I can't find any way to "optimize" the parameters like in the Geospatial Wizard, I can only input them manually or use the defaults.&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>Any luck with this? If I am forced to use Model Builder, does that have the optimize feature?</P><P></P><P>Thank you.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 18 Jun 2020 20:04:29 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/quot-optimize-quot-option-for-kriging-in-python/m-p/329525#M25631 IanDavies 2020-06-18T20:04:29Z Re: "Optimize" option for kriging in Python, similar to Geospatial Wizard in the GUI? https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/quot-optimize-quot-option-for-kriging-in-python/m-p/329526#M25632 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Are you looking to incorporate this tool?</P><P><A class="link-titled" href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/geostatistical-analyst/cross-validation.htm" title="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/geostatistical-analyst/cross-validation.htm">Cross Validation—Help | Documentation</A>&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 18 Jun 2020 21:59:28 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/quot-optimize-quot-option-for-kriging-in-python/m-p/329526#M25632 DanPatterson 2020-06-18T21:59:28Z Re: "Optimize" option for kriging in Python, similar to Geospatial Wizard in the GUI? https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/quot-optimize-quot-option-for-kriging-in-python/m-p/329527#M25633 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hmm yes that must be what the Geospatial Wizard is using under the hood, thank you.
