Coincident Points (Environment setting)

Tools that honor the Coincident Points environment define how coincident data is treated in Geostatistical Analyst.

Usage notes

  • When the tool used uses more than one dataset and the datasets have coincident points, the environment setting is applied to all datasets.

Dialog syntax

  • Mean of values at coincident locations—The mean of the data at the coincident location will be used. This is the default.
  • Exclude all coincident data—Coincident data will be excluded from the analysis.
  • Minimum value at coincident locations—The minimum value of the data at the coincident location will be used.
  • Maximum value at coincident locations—The maximum value of the data at the coincident location will be used.
  • Include all coincident data—All the data will be used.
