Hi Lise,

The best way to sort this out is to try it :-)

However, the nugget effect will certainly disappear from a variogram constructed on krigged data (simulated data are supposed to keep it though). Sill, range and anisotropy should remain, as well as, I think, the general shape of the variogram model (i.e. spherical, exponential, etc.).

As a conclusion, you can't retrieve the _exact_ variogram model only by doing variography on krigged data, but you can retrieve something very very close.

IMHO, you should give it a try and share the beer ;-)

Cheers

Nicolas

Hello,
Could someone please settle a beer-bet with a
classmate. He says that I should be able to reproduce
the variogram model used for kriging a dataset by
running a variogram analysis on the interpolated data.
I say he's all wet. Who wins the beer?  Thanks and I'm
sorry I can't award the judges a free one (especially
if you find in my favor!). Merci!
Lise
