GA does not fail with this data, it correctly uses coincidint data. Spatial Analyst's default kriging model does not produce output in certain areas. If the kriging assumptions are met then output will be produced everywhere. The data, in it's current form, is not suitable for kriging. Please look at the histogram of the input data.

The dataset that you provided has coincident data (151 points). The default model that Spatial Analyst fits cannot make predictions in the areas where you see the Nodata values. Some solutions are; - get rid of the coincident points (use Dissolve and then predictions are made everywhere in your area) - model the semivariogram and better understand your input data. If you have Geostatistical Analyst then this will make it much easier. Steve ... View more

Patrao Could you attach the smaller subset of the data and the field that you are interpolating on. Thanks Steve Lynch ... View more

It does not honor MASK by design. Natural Neighbor also does not extrapolate data outside the convex hull. According to the help the only environments that are honored are Cell Size, Current Workspace, Output Coordinate System, Extent, Scratch Workspace, Snap Raster Steve Lynch ESRI ... View more

Jill If the one layer is raster and the other feature you could convert the feature layer to raster. Make sure that the extent and cell size of the output is the same as that of the soils raster. Now you have 2 rasters that have the same extent and cell size. There are many tools in the Spatial Analyst toolbox that can assist in finding differences. Start off using the Minus tool or the Identify tool. Steve ... View more

Brooke The Smooth option in the searching neighborhood was developed to fix this problem, see explanation in Gribov, A., and Krivoruchko, K. 2004.

What about using the Feature to Raster geoprocessing tool ? see http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/An_overview_of_the_To_Raster_toolset/00120000002r000000/ Steve Lynch ESRI ... View more

The geostatistical layer is an in memory layer. To persist it, use the SaveToLayerFile tool, viz., Usage: SaveToLayerFile <in_layer> <out_layer> -Steve ... View more

- can you export it to vector (i.e contours)? - export to grid, are you accepting the defaults? - can you attach a zipped file with the GA layer and the data used to create it? Thanks Steve ESRI ... View more

Wes Please run your input raster through the IsNull tool. If the output has only 0's, then please convert the contours input to raster .img, zip it and email it to me at slynch@esri.com Thanks Steve Lynch ESRI ... View more

Create a cokriging Geostatistical layer, then use this in the Create Geostatistical Layer GP tool and you'll notice from the results posted to results dialog that you are missing a semicolon between the 2 input datasets. Viz., GACreateGeostatisticalLayer "Ordinary Cokriging" "C:\\Data\ca_ozone_pts.shp f1;C:\Data\ca_ozone_pts.shp f2" GAL1 Steve ... View more

Create a Geostatistical Layer using cokriging. This is done once off using the Geostatistical Wizard. Then in a Py script please do the following. - use the Set Model Parameter to change any of the kriging parameters in the above layer (if required) - use Create Geostatistical Layer tool to use the above and the data you want to interpolate Repeat the above steps for each dataset. PLease look at the examples in the Help. Steve Lynch ... View more
