Hi Jin,

Which differences do you exactly refer to? I'd say that what happens in demo(cokriging) is ordinary cokriging. As it says:

Hi All,

I am going to compare a few spatial interpolation techniques including
kriging with an external drift (KED) and ordinary co-kriging (OCK) (such as
those defined in: Goovaerts, 1997. Geostatistics for Natural Resources
Evaluation.) to interpolate marine sediment data (mud content in this case)
using bathymetry as a secondary variable. However, it seems that the ordinary
cokriging in gstat as shown in demo(cokriging) is different from the OCK we
planned to use. Is it possible to do such OCK in gstat? Any comments and
example? Thanks.

As to KED, I tried
vgm1 <- variogram(sqrt(mud)~bathy, data.file.dev)

model.1 <- fit.variogram(vgm1,vgm(1,"Sph",5,1))

# plot(vgm1, model.1)

coordinates(data.file.pred) = ~LON+LAT

mud.ok <- krige(sqrt(mud)~bathy, data.file.dev, data.file.pred, model =
model.1)

[using universal kriging]

vgm1 <- variogram(sqrt(mud)~LON+LAT, data.file.dev)

model.1 <- fit.variogram(vgm1,vgm(1,"Sph",5,1))

# plot(vgm1, model.1)

coordinates(data.file.pred) = ~LON+LAT

mud.ok <- krige(sqrt(mud)~LON+LAT, data.file.dev, data.file.pred, model =
model.1)

Both of them are UK. But the first one seems regression kriging. Is it
identical to KED in this case? If not, any comments and examples of KED are
appreciated.

Cheers,

Jin
