The invention provides a method, system, and program product for accommodating spatially-correlated variation in a process parameter during statistical timing of a circuit. In one embodiment, the method includes dividing an area of the circuit into a plurality of grid cells; associating an independent random variable with each of the plurality of grid cells; and expressing at least one spatially-correlated parameter of a first grid cell as a function of the random variables associated with the first grid cell and at least one neighboring grid cell.
