A Spatial Bootstrap Method for Kriging Variance

Kriging is a linear interpolation method that predict values at unknown locations by using observations at known locations. The kriging variance can be used as a performance measure of a kriging model since it qualifies the accuracy of the prediction. However the classical kriging variance formula underestimates the true kriging variance. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a bootstrap kriging variance using a spatial bootstrap method and present simulation results of some models.
