## Python Examples
### Example 1: Simple Kriging Prediction
```python
from wbgeostats import VariogramModel, OrdinaryKriging
# Training data: (x, y) coordinates and observed values
coords = [
(0.0, 0.0), (10.0, 0.0), (0.0, 10.0), (10.0, 10.0),
(5.0, 5.0), (15.0, 5.0), (5.0, 15.0)
]
values = [1.0, 2.5, 1.5, 3.0, 2.2, 3.5, 2.8]
# Define variogram (spherical model)
vario = VariogramModel(
family="spherical",
nugget=0.1,
partial_sill=2.0,
range=10.0
)
# Create kriging model
ok = OrdinaryKriging(coords, values, vario)
# Predict at a single location
result = ok.predict(5.0, 5.0)
print(f"Prediction: {result.prediction:.3f}")
print(f"Std Error: {result.std_error:.3f}")
print(f"95% CI: [{result.ci_lower:.3f}, {result.ci_upper:.3f}]")
```
**Output**:
```
Prediction: 2.201
Std Error: 0.315
95% CI: [1.583, 2.819]
```

### Example 2: Empirical Variogram Estimation
```python
from wbgeostats import estimate_variogram, fit_variogram
# Generate synthetic data with spatial structure
import random
random.seed(42)
coords = [(random.uniform(0, 100), random.uniform(0, 100)) for _ in range(50)]
# Create values with spatial trend
values = [x + 0.5*y + random.gauss(0, 0.5) for x, y in coords]
# Estimate empirical variogram
vario_dict = estimate_variogram(
x=[c[0] for c in coords],
y=[c[1] for c in coords],
values=values,
lag_distance=10.0,
max_lag_count=10
)
print(f"Analyzed {vario_dict['max_lag']:.1f} max lag distance")
print(f"Number of lag bins: {len(vario_dict['distances'])}")
# Fit theoretical model
fitted_vario = fit_variogram(
distances=vario_dict['distances'],
semivariances=vario_dict['semivariances'],
pair_counts=vario_dict['pair_counts'],
model_family="exponential"
)
print(f"\nFitted Variogram (Exponential):")
print(f" Nugget: {fitted_vario.nugget:.3f}")
print(f" Partial Sill: {fitted_vario.partial_sill:.3f}")
print(f" Range: {fitted_vario.range:.3f}")
```
**Output**:
```
Analyzed 95.0 max lag distance
Number of lag bins: 10
Fitted Variogram (Exponential):
Nugget: 0.253
Partial Sill: 1.847
Range: 28.435
```

### Example 3: Cross-Validation & Model Assessment
```python
from wbgeostats import (
VariogramModel, OrdinaryKriging,
cross_validate_kriging, estimate_variogram, fit_variogram
)
# Load or generate data
# ... (data preparation code) ...
# Step 1: Estimate empirical variogram
vario_dict = estimate_variogram(x, y, values, lag_distance=8.0)
# Step 2: Fit theoretical models and compare
models = {}
for family in ["spherical", "exponential", "gaussian"]:
fitted_vario = fit_variogram(
vario_dict['distances'],
vario_dict['semivariances'],
vario_dict['pair_counts'],
model_family=family
)
# Cross-validate model
cv_metrics = cross_validate_kriging(x, y, values, fitted_vario)
models[family] = {
'vario': fitted_vario,
'metrics': cv_metrics
}
print(f"\n{family.upper()} Model:")
print(f" RMSE: {cv_metrics['rmse']:.4f}")
print(f" RMSSE: {cv_metrics['rmsse']:.4f}")
print(f" Correlation: {cv_metrics['correlation']:.4f}")
print(f" Well-calibrated: {cv_metrics['is_well_calibrated']}")
# Choose best model (e.g., lowest RMSE)
best_family = min(
models.keys(),
key=lambda f: models[f]['metrics']['rmse']
)
print(f"\nBest model: {best_family}")
# Use best model for predictions
best_vario = models[best_family]['vario']
ok = OrdinaryKriging(list(zip(x, y)), values, best_vario)
```

### Example 4: Grid Prediction (Vectorized)
```python
from wbgeostats import VariogramModel, OrdinaryKriging
# Training data
coords = [(x, y) for x in range(0, 101, 20) for y in range(0, 101, 20)]
values = [x + 0.5*y for x, y in coords]
# Kriging model
vario = VariogramModel("spherical", nugget=5.0, partial_sill=50.0, range=40.0)
ok = OrdinaryKriging(coords, values, vario)
# Create prediction grid
grid_coords = [
(x, y) for x in range(0, 101, 5) for y in range(0, 101, 5)
]
# Predict all grid points (parallelized)
results = ok.predict_batch(grid_coords)
# Extract results
predictions = [r.prediction for r in results]
variances = [r.variance for r in results]
print(f"Grid predictions: {len(predictions)} points")
print(f"Mean prediction: {sum(predictions)/len(predictions):.2f}")
print(f"Mean variance: {sum(variances)/len(variances):.2f}")
# Convert to grid structure for visualization
import numpy as np
n = 21 # sqrt(len(grid_coords))
pred_grid = np.array(predictions).reshape(n, n)
var_grid = np.array(variances).reshape(n, n)
# Plot (requires matplotlib)
# import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# plt.contourf(pred_grid); plt.colorbar(); plt.show()
```

## Workflow Comparison
### Python Workflow
1. `estimate_variogram()` → fit parameters from data
2. `fit_variogram()` → get VariogramModel
3. `cross_validate_kriging()` → assess model quality
4. `OrdinaryKriging()` + `predict_batch()` → grid interpolation
### R Workflow
1. `estimate_variogram()` → fit parameters from data
2. `fit_variogram()` → get fitted model parameters
3. `kriging_cross_validate()` → assess model quality
4. `kriging_predict_grid()` → vectorized grid interpolation
### Rust Workflow
1. `EmpiricalVariogramBuilder` → empirical variogram
2. `VariogramFitter::fit()` → fit theoretical model
3. `LeaveOneOutCV::validate()` → CV metrics
4. `OrdinaryKriging` + `predict_batch()` → predictions

## Performance Tips
- **Batch prediction**: Always use `predict_batch()` instead of repeated single predictions
- **Large grids**: Use 1000-5000 points per batch for optimal parallelization
- **LOOCV**: Cache variogram fitting; only refits if model changes
- **Memory**: Pre-allocate coordinate vectors for large datasets
- **I/O**: Use raster templates to define grids; avoids redundant coordinate generation
