 Is this the reason for transforming the data (only upto page 14).
At the moment I am thinking kriging minimizes the variance of the
sampling distribution as I am also reading a book on classical
statistics.

Is this distribution common in elements other than gold and uranium.

John Sturgul was my lecturer in mine evaluation, I think he mentioned your
1979 book in that course, but I did use it as a reference for a project I
did on geostatistics.

Thanks again,
