Extrapolate values beyond the extent of the sample points

Geostatistical Analyst

Segment 16 of 18

Top  Previous  Next

By default, Geostatistical Analyst interpolates the value of the selected variable at any location that lies within the area defined by the north-south and east-west limits of the sample point data. However, the map of predicted ozone does not cover the geographic extent of California (the ca_outline layer). To overcome this problem, you will extrapolate values (predict values outside the default bounding box) for both surfaces.

Right-click the Trend Removed layer in the table of contents and click Properties. Click the Extent tab. In the Set the extent to text box, choose a custom extent entered below and type the following values for the Visible Extent text boxes:
Top: 860000
Right: -1600000
Left: -2400000
Bottom: -400000
then click OK.

Right-click the Indicator Kriging layer and and click Properties. Click the Extent tab. Set the extent to match the extent of Trend Removed, then click OK.
