Re: AI-GEOSTATS: Question about modelling variograms of a residual property

2008-07-24 Thread Raimon Tolosana
Hi, I also think that transition probabilities might show a better connection to the nature of the original variable, and mcuh less cumbersome... Regarding the sill problem, is it so surprising, that a de-trended variable shows less variance than the original one? If the gaussian variable has a

Oh, I'm not sure, but I have the feeling that, in this discussion, we are mixing the non-conditional distribution (a.k.a. the global distribution) with the conditional (local) one... and by the way, dismissing confidence intervals using simple kriging variance for gaussian distributions is

Hello Julián Short questions, short answers: 1.- as many as you want, as far as you trust the estimation of so many cross-covariances 2.- yes, you can. And yes, you can impose such kind of constraints. For inequality constraints, the book of Chilès and Delfiner (1999) gives some ideas. For

that only samples from the same layer are used in the kriging. In short, he believes that the spatial continuity is the same in each layer, but the mean and variability change. Your thought on this was the same as my initial thoughts. Isobel http://uk.geocities.com/drisobelclark */Raimon

AI-GEOSTATS Hello Ashton, I would suggest to do the interpolation of the probability field using a logistic scale, to avoid getting negative estimates for some categories. This essentially implies changing your bare zeroes (in the error matrix below) by a suitable small number (say, the
