AI-GEOSTATS: variogram at zero ( gamma(0) ) in the kriging

2002-04-28 Thread jack webster
Hi list members When there is a nugget effect say c0=45, there is a discontinuity in variogram model, so that gamma(0) = 0 , but gamma(0.0001) = c0 (= 45), I wrote a function for O. Kriging, but did not now wheter i must define g(0)=0, or g(0)=c0 in the kriging program?? For example

Jack There is a schism in the geostatistical community between those who do and those who don't make gamma(0) equal to 0. Some people argue that the nugget effect is 'sampling error' and that gamma(0) should equal c0 so that kriging does not honour the data values. It also makes your kriging
