Any random function can be expressed as the sum of at least two terms, one is the deterministic component and the other is the stochastic component as:

Y(x)=m(x)+W(x) where m(x)=E[Y(x)]

The deterministic component [i.e., m(x)] is called drift or trend.

Hello -

I'm still new to geostatistics, and I've come across the term, drift a few times, but I don't really understand what it means. Can someone offer a simple explanation?

Thanks,
