Hi
Thank you for the references and the software.
I'm going to your web site.
I know your book quite well (I started my Ph.D. using your book).

Hello,

Factorial kriging is not very sophisticated, it's just a slight variant of kriging
that requires the modification of just a few lines of codes.
Anyways, I just posted a program to perform factorial kriging analysis
in the download section of my website. I hope your grid is not too big,

The program filter.exe (FORTRAN source code filter.f) is a modified version of the Gslib program kt3d.f that allows performing a kriging analysis. Based on the number of nested structures of the variogram model specified in the parameter file filter.par, the program will estimate the values of the noise and noise-filtered signal (1 structure), or the values of the noise, local and regional components (2 structures). Following Goovaerts (1997, page 167), the regional component includes both the long-range component and the trend component in order to attenuate the impact of the search window on the estimation of these long-range spatial components. The zipped folder includes the executable, the source code, as well as a sample parameter file for the Jura dataset.

In another paper concerned with noise-filtering of imagery, I run the
program for a single pixel to get the kernel weights and then apply
the same kernel everywhere (since the data geometry does not change except
at the edges of the image).

Hi Pierre

I think that for my task factorial kriging is a little bit
too much sophisticated (nevertheless, is there any open source or
free implementation of it ??? I remember that it is implemented in Isatis.....).

I have an exhaustive and regularly spaced data set (i.e. a grid) and I need
to calculate locally the spatial variability of the residual surface or better
I would like to calculate the spatial variability of the high frequency component. Here I'm lucky because I know exactly what I want to see and what I need to filter out. In theory, using (overlapping) moving window averages (but here it seems better to use some more complex kernel) one should be able to filter out the short range variability (characterized by an eventual variogram range within the window size???).
Seeing the problem from another perspective, in the case of a perfect
sine wave behavior, I should be able to filter out spatial
variability components with wave lengths up to the window size.
But maybe there is something flawed in my reasoning....so feedback is appreciated!
Bye
Sebastiano

well Factorial Kriging Analysis allows you to tailor the filtering weights
to the spatial patterns in your data. You can use the same filter size but
different kriging weights depending on whether you want to estimate
the local or regional scales of variability.

Hi José
Thank you for the interesting references. I'm going to give a look!

Hello again,
I am not a mathematician, so I never worried too much on the theoretical reasons. You may be able to find some discussion on this subject in Eubank, R.L. 1999. Nonparametric Regression and Spline Smoothing, 2a ed. M. Dekker, New York. You may be also interested on searching information in and related to (perhaps citing) this work: Altman, N. 1990. Kernel smoothing of data with correlated errors. Journal of the American Statistical Association, 85: 749-759.

Hi José
Thank you for your reply.
Effectively I'm trying to figure out the theoretical reasons for their use.
Bye
Sebas
