Hi all, for S or R users, GeoR is worth a look for auto-fitting procedures. This R package allows fitting of variograms (with the option of trend removal) via least squares (equal weights, n_pairs weights, or 'Cressie' weights), or computationally using maximum liklihood or REML. If you go

Hi AllIt is difficult to have an automaticbest fit semi-variogram until you define what you mean by "best fit". Noel Cressie's goodness of fit statistic goes a long way towards the ideal, but is very insensitive to changes in nugget effect and pretty insensitive to fairly large changes in the

EdI use the Cressie statistic to four significant figures as a guide in the interactive fitting, but generally end up using a visual judgement. It tracks as you drag the model around, so you can watch it change.I think the 'real' visual objective function is probably the perpendicular (to
