Hi, They are currently writing a book that would be similar to Gslib user manual but tailored to S-GeMS features. In the meantime, you can find some help in the user manual available at http://sgems.sourceforge.net/doc/sgems_manual.pdf Cheers, Pierre Pierre Goovaerts Chief Scientist

the interpolated node does not coincide with a sampled location, the nugget variance is filtered. So, I don't see how you could compare the common kriging with factorial kriging in a cross-validation mode. Regards, Pierre Pierre Goovaerts Chief Scientist at BioMedware 516 North State Street Ann

I think that Isobel refers to the implementation of the kriging algorithm in ESRI products where the nugget variability is automatically filtered from the data. Hence, if your variogram has a non-zero nugget effect, the kriged surface won't honor the data at sampled locations. Pierre Pierre
