Subset Features (Geostatistical Analyst)

ArcGIS Pro 3.2 | | Help archive

Available with Geostatistical Analyst license.

Summary

Divides the original dataset into two parts: one part to be used to model the spatial structure and produce a surface, the other to be used to compare and validate the output surface.

Usage

  • If multipart features are used as input, the output will be a subset of multipart features and not individual features.

  • If you want the random sequence used to create the subsets to be repeatable, you need to specify a nonzero seed value in the Random number generator environment variable.

    Note:

    Only the Mersenne Twister random number generator type is supported; if ACM collected algorithm 599 or Standard C Rand is chosen, Mersenne Twister will be used instead.

  • The test feature class is often used in validation of a model created using the training feature class.
