GeoStatisticalAnalyst

The GeoStatisticalAnalyst library implements the non-user interface functionality of the ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst extension (on ArcGIS for Desktop) and the Geostatistical extension (on ArcGIS for Server). These extensions enable ArcGIS users to apply many different interpolation techniques (both deterministic and geostatistical) to their data. The toolset also includes tools for kriging using a moving search window, geostatistical simulation, prediction of values for specific locations, and exporting results as contours, filled contours, or grids.

This library is meant for internal use only. There is no public application programming interface (API) exposed. The functionality is exposed to developers through geoprocessing tools available to .NET developers in the ESRI.ArcGIS.GeostatisticalAnalystTools namespace. See An overview of the Geostatistical Analyst toolbar and toolbox for details on the available tools. To run these tools, ensure you have a geostatistical layer or an interpolation model saved in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format (both created using the Geostatistical Wizard) as input. For more information, see How to run a geoprocessing tool.
