Re: AI-GEOSTATS: Cross variogram

That is the 'traditional' cross semi-variogram as
discussed in Matheron's original work. Now also known
as a co-located cross semi-variogram.

There is a non-co-located cross semi-variogram which
goes something like:

gamma(h)=1/2N(h) SUMi,j(vi-uj)^2

which is always positive. However, you probably have
to standardise u and v to get meaningful results
(which you can't really do with skewed data).

Noel Cressie has shown in  a paper in Math Geol that a
semi-variogram calculated on logarithms is the same
generically as a general relative semi-variogram.

I should think that conclusion probably holds for
cross semi-variograms too. Calculating on logarithms
is computationally simpler than calculating a relative
semi-variogram.

Hello everyone,
  The forumlea which I have obtained for the cross
 variogram is;
 
  gamma(h)=1/2N(h) SUMi,j(vi-vj)(ui-uj)
 
  Is it correct then that the product of the
 differences can be negative in
 cases.

AI-GEOSTATS: Novel Interpolation Method

2003-03-14 Thread Ben Fang




To those who are interested in "interpolation" for 
any dimensions (1D, 2D, 3D,..). We have good news to you.

To date, there are no existing publications 
regarding interpolation methods that can be deduced analytically and extended 
easily to arbitrary dimensions. In fact, there is no publication for 
interpolation greater than 5-dimension. Based on the standard Monte-Carlo method 
as well as the Dirac delta function, we are able to "derive" an interpolation 
formulation which is good in any dimension. Please check our site for more info 
and demo at: http://www.fanginc.com/main.htm

Our interpolation method can also be used in 
non-Cartesian space, e.g. spherical and cylindrical 3D.


Feedback is welcome.
