* Chapter 9 – (Semi)Variogram models Given a geostatistical model, Z(s), its variogram g(h) is formally defined as where f(s, u) is the joint probability density function of Z(s) and Z(u). For an intrinsic random field, the variogram can be estimated using the method of moments estimator, as follows: where h is the distance separating sample locations si and si+h, N(h) is the number of distinct data pairs. In some circumstances, it may be desirable to consider direction in addition to distance. In isotropic case, h should be written as a scalar h, representing magnitude. Note: In lite
