Dear list and Sir,
This is the first time I am reading this definition. Till now the books which i have read as student describes the original definition of nugget effect as
The value at the point at which a variogram model intersects the
vertical (gamma) axis on a variogram plot.
Is it possible to get the reference showing the so told definition of nugget variance?
Regards
Tanvi
