among the usual interpolation methods, kriging and co-kriging are frequently used in the interpolation of precipitation data as one the best linear unbiased estimators, despite these advantages, there models show smoothness representation and because they are based on regional averages of the data, they predict maximum and minimum values   lower and higher than real values respectively. therefo...

The problem of simultaneous covariate selection and parameter inference for spatial regression models is considered. Previous research has shown that failure to take spatial correlation into account can influence the outcome of standard model selection methods. A Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is investigated for the calculation of parameter estimates and posterior model probabilities f...

changes in groundwater quality, is caused destruction of other resources, either directly or indirectly, due to bad management of groundwater extractions. considering the importance of groundwater resources, especially in arid and semiarid regions, this research was done to modeling the spatial distribution of some groundwater qualitative factors with emphasis on drinking using geostatistical m...

ABSTRACT-Determining hydraulic conductivity of soil is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. In this study, Algorithm Genetic and geostatistical analysis and Neural Networks method are used to estimate soil saturated hydraulic conductivity using the properties of particle size distribution. The data were gathered from 134soil profiles from soil and lander form studies of the Ardabil Agricul...

Reference Evapotranspiration (ET0) is a basic parameter for determination of irrigation program. It is one of the most important factors in water resources management and considers as a requirement for every irrigation and drainage plans. Because of the spatial variations of ET0, it is necessary to use from intrapolation methods in order to estimation of this parameter in regional studie. Using...
