Recall that the goal of this example is spatial prediction. In particular, you would like to produce a contour map or surface plot on a regular grid of predicted values based on ordinary kriging.

We also show algebraically that a non-ergodic version of the variogram is equivalent to the traditional variogram estimator. Simulations, designed to investigate the effects of data skewness and ...

The OUTVAR= data set contains the standard and robust versions of the sample semivariogram, the covariance, and other information at each lag class. The details of the computation of the variogram, ...
