Using disjunctive kriging to create a prediction map

Available with Geostatistical Analyst license.

The data points need to be sampled from a phenomenon that is continuous in space and has a bivariate normal distribution.

Important parameters are appropriate transformation and detrending, covariance/semivariogram model, and search neighborhood.
