Hello, At this link you can see what someone has done with ArcGIS. http://xbbster.googlepages.com/isoliner It is not open source but the standard version is free. I think 3-D kriging only allows a spherical model. "Isoliner is the ArcGIS extension for make grids and points theme with interpola

Hi! If you have to write new geostatistical code I think that an object oriented and generic programming language should be chosen (in primis c++ , it is efficient, it is compatible with c, you can wrap it and work inside R). The point is that in order to have a great code that is easy understa

Hi Michael Nice to see someone comfortable with rambling. I think we should have more of that in the list! Being an old warhorse and too far gone to change, I still use Fortran. My excuse is always "if it's good enough for NASA.." Visual Basic is pretty good too but Fort

I agree with Michalel, Monica and Isobel: R is a great choice! There are a lot of packges for spatial statistics and interpolation, but there is lack of more "advanced" techniques, like DK, multigaussian Kr, ... so, Adrian, your is a very good project!! Finally, there are R packages to bui
