Hi Celia,

To compute the pseudo-cross covariance
for an unbounded model, you just substract the 
semivariogram model g(h) from any positive value A, 
such that A-g(h) is non-negative for all h.
The non-bias condition of the ordinary kriging system
allows the constant A to cancel out from the system
of equations, hence the choice of the value A has
no impact on the computation of kriging weights and
kriging variance.

Cheers,

Pierre
