Tim,

Thank you very much, the code does what's it expected to do.
Unfortunately the thing is still pretty slow on large data sets. I
will probably now look for ways to calculate the variogram from some
random samples of my data. Thanks for the observation regarding the
square array, that would have bitten me, later.

Again, thanks,

Hanno

Can you try the following code and see if this correctly implements a
variogram? I don&#39;t have time to check that it really implements a

Can you send the naive code as well. Its often easier to see
what&#39;s<br>going on<br>&gt; with code in addition to the
