AI-GEOSTATS: SUM: weighted cross-validations?

2003-02-19 Thread Gregoire Dubois
o) that there is only one true variogram model for our problem and hence we want to find the best way to find that true variogram. One way to make it look more unique is to put more assumptions in such as multivariate normality which may or may not be reasonable. Donald Myers http://www.u.arizona.edu/

AI-GEOSTATS: weighted cross-validations?

2003-02-18 Thread Gregoire Dubois
Dear all, cross-validation techniques can be used to evaluate the suitability of the parameters chosen for an estimation problem. Minimising a global error might be too restrictive and might not be suitable to solve some practical problems. In the case of a large-scale pollution problem, one
