Hi,

a little off the original topic, but one question that puzzles me is the
computation of the semivariogramm for Kriging with external drift.

If I understand correctly, a relation of type
  m*(x) = a1(x) + a2(x)*s(x)
is assumed between the mean of the primary variable at location x
(drift) and secondary variable (s). Now, the a's are dependent on the
location and are not computed explicitly. But in the kriging system the
residual covarince is needed. To compute the residuals, I would need to
calculate the equation explicitly, right?

How do I compute the residual semivariogramm when I don't know the
residuals? Or have I misunderstood something in the concept of external
drift?

Best regards
Andreas
