Focal‐Feature Regression Kriging

open access: yesGeographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation is a crucial task in geography. As perhaps the most widely used interpolation methods, geostatistical models‐such as Ordinary Kriging (OK)‐assume spatial stationarity, which makes it difficult to capture the nonstationary characteristics of geographic variables.
