I don't like to give users that wrong sensation. Agreed. Anything claiming to be a "wizard" for Kriging really needs to be a psychic wizard that can read your thoughts and understand your data. A better device would be an "Interrogator": *ping* Your data seems to be discrete small integers, are you sure you want to model it as a Gaussian? [*yes*/no] *ping* So you want to model your data with Gaussian cofactor response p-value thresholds from an underlying Bayesian surface? [*yes*/no] *ping* That last question was nonsense. You're just clicking "yes" until you get a surface model - any surface model - right? [*yes*/no] *ping* okay, at least you are honest. I'm deleting the kriging module now, go find a statistician.
