Method Details

estimate

public static Real estimate(Place targetLocation,
 List<Place> knownLocations,
 List<Real> knownValues,
 Real range,
 Real sill,
 Real nugget)

Estimates the value at a specific location using Simple Kriging.

Note: This is a placeholder for the matrix operations required for Kriging. Real implementation requires solving K * w = m (Kriging equations).

Parameters:

targetLocation - The location to estimate.

knownLocations - List of known locations (observations).

knownValues - List of values at the known locations.

range - The range of the variogram model.

sill - The sill of the variogram model.

nugget - The nugget effect.

Returns:

The estimated value.
