AI-GEOSTATS: gaussian model

2002-11-04 Thread Carolina Garcia Imhof


Hi.
I have a question which is not directly related to geostatistical analysis...
 What is the relationship between the gaussian model
used in geostatistics and the classical gaussian function or
distribution,
or how it came to be known as a gaussian model?

Thanks,
Carolina

The gaussian semi-variogram model is so-called because
the formula is basically identical to that for the 
Normal (or gaussian) probability distribution. 

There is no other necessary link with the Normal
distribution.
