AI-GEOSTATS: clustering of locations vs locations data

2004-04-14 Thread Simon Berlage
Hello Geostatters, I have various monitoring sites in an area. Before determining whether the DATA is clustered or not, I would like to know if the sample locations (x,y) are clustered (otherwise whats the point if detecting clusting in your data?!). I understand that I should be able to tell by

Hi All Re the interpretation of indicator semi variograms and probabilities, consider the following: 2Gamma(h) = E{(I(x)-I(x+h)^2} where I(x) is stationary. If we examine ALL possible pairs of I(x) and Ix+h) in the above equation, we get 4 possibilities: 1. I(x) = 0 and I(x+h) = 0. 2. I(x) = 1 a

Hi Koen, The sill of bounded semivariograms is generally close to the sample variance. For your indicator variables, the variance will be p(1-p) where p is the proportion of 1's for example. Thus, the maximum sill you should observe in theory is 0.25 for a threshold equal to the median of the dist

Title: Message Good day everyone!   Time is ripe for a new SIC (Spatial Interpolation Comparison) exercise !   The second edition of SIC (SIC2004) will be launched by the end of this month. The topic of this year will be "automatic mapping", that is the use of algorithms for spatial interpola
