ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst is an extension to ArcGIS Desktop that provides a powerful suite of tools for spatial data exploration and optimal surface generation using sophisticated statistical methods.

ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst allows you to create a surface from data measurements occurring over an area where collecting information for every possible location would be impractical. From improving estimation of temperature values to assessing environmental risks or predicting the existence of any geophysical element, ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst gives anyone with spatial data the ability to investigate, visualize, and create optimal surfaces.

ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst enables you to take advantage of these tools and techniques in a friendly and dynamic graphical user interface (GUI).

[edit] With ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst you can:

• Explore data variability, look for data outliers, and examine global trends.
• Create prediction, prediction standard error, quantile, and probability maps.
• Use different renderers to visualize surfaces including contours (isolines), filled contours, regular grid (block interpolation), and hillshading.
• Investigate spatial autocorrelation and the correlation between multiple datasets.
