[ai-geostats] interpolation of time series

2006-03-06 Thread Andrea Aimi
Hi, I´m looking to interpolate time series of temperature, with spline or co-kriging. I found many literature about these two geostatistical methods, but very few about how to use themin interpolation of time series (or about some trick to solve the problem in other way). Can you tell me if there

Hi, Andrea, Why dont you consider using bandlimited interpolation instead? If you are interested, I can send you some references on that topic. Regards, Jorge Carvalho * Jorge M. C. M. Carvalho Mining Department

[ai-geostats] kriging without a nugget

2006-03-06 Thread Törneman Niklas
Hi All, I am sort of a beginner within this field and my question might seem a bit simple. Any help would be appreciated however. In commercial all purpose software's such as SURFER there is an option to exclude the nugget effect from the kriging interpolation. The purpose is to ensure

Hi Niklas You'll get better/more detailed explanations than this, but kriging is what they call an 'exact interpolator' in that the data values are honoured at their locations (ie: 0 error variance). As the nugget increases, more distant samples receive a higher weight andtaken to the

Hi Niklas, This is a very good question; in fact one of the participants to my last short course asked the same question since he was using ARCview with the option nugget effect excluded and was surprised to see that his observations were not honored by the kriging predictions. This is related

Hello, The nugget effect is usually interpreted as a combination of small-scale variability and measurement errors. The only way to distinguish between both is to assess the magnitude of measurement errors in the lab, e.g. through replication of the measurement on subsamples. Wherever the
