ChaoshengSome thoughts in response toyour questions:1: "Spatially correlated data provide redundant information for thecalculation of mean" I would not say "redundant". Even if information is correlated, the correlation is not perfect (=1) which wouldbe "redundant". If the data is

AI-GEOSTATS Hi Ashton, Sequential Indicator simulation (SIS) is based on the local estimation (i.e. kriging) of the probabilities of occurrence of each of the 7 categories, in your case. Thus, the local mean refers to the local (a priori) probability of occurrence of each of the seven classes

AI-GEOSTATS Hello Ashton, I would suggest to do the interpolation of the probability field using a logistic scale, to avoid getting negative estimates for some categories. This essentially implies changing your bare zeroes (in the error matrix below) by a suitable small number (say, the
