Compositional Kriging: A Spatial Interpolation Method for Compositional Data
TL;DR: In this paper, compositional kriging is introduced as a straightforward extension of ordinary Kriging that complies with the constant sum and non-negativity constraints of compositional data.

Abstract: Compositional data are very common in the earth sciences. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to the spatial interpolation of these data sets. Most interpolators do not necessarily satisfy the constant sum and nonnegativity constraints of compositional data, nor take spatial structure into account. Therefore, compositional kriging is introduced as a straightforward extension of ordinary kriging that complies with these constraints. In two case studies, the performance of compositional kriging is compared with that of the additive logratio-transform. In the first case study, compositional kriging yielded significantly more accurate predictions than the additive logratio-transform, while in the second case study the performances were comparable.

On digital soil mapping
TL;DR: The generic framework, which the authors call the scorpanSSPFe (soil spatial prediction function with spatially autocorrelated errors) method, is particularly relevant for those places where soil resource information is limited.

A Practical Guide to Geostatistical Mapping
Tomislav Hengl
- 01 Jan 2009
TL;DR: This book will first introduce the basic principles of geostatistical mapping and regression-kriging, as the key prediction technique, then guide you through software tools — R+gstat/geoR, SAGA GIS and Google Earth — which will be used to prepare the data, run analysis and make final layouts.
