Spatial Continuous Phenomena, Interpolation 2

This lecture covers the structural analysis, specifically variography, as a prerequisite for any interpolation procedure. It explains the process of developing an experimental variogram and adjusting a theoretical model to provide parameters for kriging calculations. The empirical approach to variography is discussed, highlighting its foundation on simple yet established knowledge, despite relying on unmentioned assumptions not fitting into a complete mathematical theory. The theoretical foundations of structural analysis, developed by Matheron, are also mentioned.
