Why do we use universal kriging in ArcGIS?
The Universal kriging types assume that there is a structural component present and that the local trend varies from one location to another. The Advanced Parameters allow control of the semivariogram used for kriging. A default value for Lag size is initially set to the default output cell size.
What is the default size for kriging in ArcMap?

How is the Kriging variance calculated in ArcGIS?
The optional output variance of prediction raster contains the kriging variance at each output raster cell. Assuming the kriging errors are normally distributed, there is a 95.5 percent probability that the actual z-value at the cell is the predicted raster value, plus or minus two times the square root of the value in the variance raster.
How to use Kriging in spatial statistics toolbox?
The Collect Events tool in the Spatial Statistics toolbox is useful for identifying any coincident points in your data. Kriging (in_point_features, z_field, semiVariogram_props, {cell_size}, {search_radius}, {out_variance_prediction_raster}) The input point features containing the z-values to be interpolated into a surface raster.
How is a raster surface interpolated in kriging?
Interpolates a raster surface from points using kriging. Kriging is a processor-intensive process. The speed of execution is dependent on the number of points in the input dataset and the size of the search window. Low values within the optional output variance of prediction raster indicate a high degree of confidence in the predicted value.
What is the probability of a kriging error?
Assuming the kriging errors are normally distributed, there is a 95.5 percent probability that the actual z-value at the cell is the predicted raster value, plus or minus two times the square root of the value in the variance raster. Some input datasets may have several points with the same x,y coordinates.
