Dear all
it's me again
Intrinsic hypothesis is different from second order one mainly because in the 
first case covariance function does not exist and variogram is computed instead 
of it....
My question is...
How to realize about non stationarity of my variable?...
ok...I can take a look at the shape of my variogram...if it is bounded, 
variable is stationary, while if it continue increasing with lag variable is 
non stationary and I need some non stationarity methodology to treat it....
The problem is how to realize about the intrinsicness of my variable...what 
does "covariance does not exist" mean?...I can calculate covariance with ISATIS 
and when variogram increases not bounding around a priori variance my 
covariance will be negative...but it continue to exist!....so how to 
distinguish second order from intrinsic variables?....and decide if beeing able 
to use only variogram or choose between covariance or variogram?....
Ok...I could use variogram not worring about the kind of stationarity of my 
variable, but I want to know which kind of theory I'm appling on my dataset..
Thanks
Simone
