AI-GEOSTATS: Variogram sill

2006-08-25 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,

 I was wondering about some variogram models not having a
sill.
Does this mean that semi-variogram values can be greater
than
the population variance, in which case you would have
negative 
covariances, or is the population variance the maximum these
models, e.g. linear model, may reach.

AI-GEOSTATS: Re: standardized anomaly

2006-08-25 Thread Isobel Clark
Sebastiano     You will be fine so long as you actually have a "stationary" phenomenon. That is, there is a constant mean and standard deviation over your study area -- no trends, no discontinuities, no changes of behaviour. Such a transformation also assumes that your data follow a fairly symmetrical histogram.      Your semi-variogram will look exaclty the same as your 'raw' data semi-variogram but should have a sill around 1.     Isobel  http://www.kriging.comSebastiano Trevisani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  Dear list memberA procedural question for you...I'm thinking to transform my data in a standardized anomaly [i.e. (raw datum- sample average)/sample standard deviation)] and then I`ll perfom the

AI-GEOSTATS: standardized anomaly

2006-08-25 Thread Sebastiano Trevisani

Dear list member

A procedural question for you...

I'm thinking to transform my data in a standardized anomaly [i.e. 
(raw datum- sample average)/sample standard deviation)] and then I`ll 
perfom the geostatistical analysis on these transformed data. At 
first glance, I don't see problem in the back-transformation of 
interpolated data and in the correct evaluation of estimation 
variance. Am I wrong?


Sincerely
Sebastiano
