2.7 Empirical Bayesian kriging (EBK) model
In the present study, we used a robust novel interpolation method like
Empirical Bayesian kriging (EBK) from the ArcGIS environment to confirm
the robustness and visualize the spatial variability of meteorological
variables and ETref. The EBK is a novel geostatistical interpolation
technique that automating the utmost complicated feature of constructing
a valid kriging model that can be thought of as the most challenging
feature of spatial interpolation within the geostatistical method (Gupta
et al., 2017). Moreover, unlike the other kriging approaches the EBK
model need not adjust manually model variables rather it can
automatically compute these variables within a manner of sub-setting and
simulations (Gribov and Krivoruchko 2020)
