Abstract
Frequently a user wants to merge general knowledge of the regionalized variable under study with available observations. Introduction of fake observations is the usual way of doing this. Bayesian kriging allows the user to specify a qualified guess, associated with uncertainty, for the expected surface. The method will provide predictions which are based on both observations and this qualified guess.
