Traditionally, geostatistical algorithms are contained within specialist GIS and spatial statistics software. Such packages are often expensive, with relatively complex user interfaces and steep learning curves, and cannot be easily integrated into more complex process chains. In contrast, Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) promote interoperability and loose coupling within distributed syste...

In conventional agricultural production systems, soil management is generally carried out without considering the spatial variability of its properties. This situation generates not only degradation but also an increase in costs associated with this factor. The objective research was to evaluate, through geostatistical methods, fertility Botana Experimental Farm Universidad de Nariño. Spatial m...

This article gives a brief overview of classical spatial statistics. Three main types of spatial data are considered: geostatistical data, lattice data, and spatial point patterns. Modeling themes common to all three data types are emphasized. In addition, some basic structural identification procedures for each data type are described. Finally, maximum likelihood estimation and spatial predict...

This paper compares the results of two models, one hedonic and other geostatistical, when obtaining housing price estimates in Rumiñahui canton, Ecuador. In first model, different parameterizations variables that make up model are used to obtain best predictions. For geostatistical case, predictions composed a trend function depends on certain characteristics spatial error term, which is modele...

Abstract Point bar reservoir geology is frequently encountered in oil and gas developments worldwide. Furthermore, point many sites being considered for large scale CO 2 injection sequestration. A comprehensive modeling method that adequately preserves internal architecture its associated heterogeneities still not available. Traditional geostatistical methods cannot capture the curvilinear of b...

Retardation of certain radionuclides due to sorption to zeolitic minerals is considered one of the major barriers to contaminant transport in the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain. However, zeolitically altered areas are lower in permeability than unaltered regions, which raises the possibility that contaminants might bypass the sorptive zeolites. The relationship between hydrologic and chemic...

Geostatistical mapping can be defined as analytical production of maps by using field observations, auxiliary information and a computer program that calculates values at locations of interest. Today, increasingly the heart of a mapping project is, in fact, the computer program that implements some (geo)statistical algorithm to a given point data set. Purpose of this guide is to assist you in p...
