AI-GEOSTATS: Estimating the fixed Sill in the Elliptic Anisotropy

2001-09-04 Thread Yadollah Waghei
Hi, AI-Geostats member In Elliptic Anisotropy we suppose that the Sill parameter of Variogram is fixed and the Range parametre is varying with direction, in an ellipce. But in practice, usually Sill is also depends to direction (more or less). My question is that: How can we estimate Sill and

How can we estimate Sill and Range in all directions by supposing that the sill is fixed? It is usual to fit the sill to an omni-directional semi-variogram graph, since that has most pairs on all points. The ranges can then be fitted individually. The alternate is to 'contour' the

AI-GEOSTATS: samples with not normal distribution

2001-09-04 Thread Montse Ferrer Julia
Hi everybody! I know I am going to make a quite silly questions for people who is used to work with krigging, but I am quite new, and after reading three different books and talk to 2 or three people I am in a mess: is it correct to interpolate data from a sample that doesn't follow a normal

What does your data look like after you take logarithms? Is it still skewed? If you do a probability plot does it drop off at the lower end? Or at the top? or is it still curved? Or does it have a kink in it? Geostatistics is possible with any or all of the above but the remedy differs according

AI-GEOSTATS: spatial autocorrelation

2001-09-04 Thread Sue Rodriguez-Pastor
Hello, I'm helping someone with some spatial analyses for some data with plant species data across a set of natural pools. We are trying to determine whether there is spatial autocorrelation, but am not sure what test to run. At first I was advised that perhaps using the Moran's I index would
