Fundamentally Flawed
This textbook is based on the premise that the true variance of the distance-weighted average can be replaced with the pseudo kriging variance of a set of degrees-of-freedom and variance-deprived functionally dependent kriged estimates. The distance-weighted average was reborn as an honorific kriged estimate but that could not possibly make its variance vanish without a...

The distance-weighted average was reborn as an honorific kriged estimate but that could not possibly make its variance vanish without a trace. Just another textbook were the requirement of functional independence and the concept of degrees of freedom are ignored with impunity.
