Hello, When one calculates an experimental variogram used for spatial modelling one averages the semivariogram values at each distance. This value is just an average with a certain variance and coefficient of variation which we assume to represent the true underlying variogram as we only have samples of the entire population. To this effect can anyone suggest any literature that which discusses individual variogram variances and the effect of these assumptions, and smoothing it may cause in our modelling, or is that our averaged estimates of the variogram are accurate represenations as in many cases they do produce smooth curves.
Thanks in advance. Regards Digby Millikan B.Eng Geolite Mining Systems U4/16 First Ave., Payneham South SA 5070 Australia.
