Multivariate Geostatistics: An Introduction with Applications

By Hans Wackernagel

Book Overview

This book presents an introduction to geostatistics stressing the multivariate aspects for scientists, engineers or statisticians. Geostatistics offers a variety of models, methods and techniques for the analysis, estimation and display of multivariate data distributed in space or time. This book presents a brief review of statistical concepts, a detailed introduction to linear geostatistics and an account of three basic methods of multivariate analysis. The third edition of this very successful textbook contains an advanced presentation of linear models for multivariate spatial or temporal data, of nonlinear models and methods for selection problems with change of suppport as well as an introduction to non-stationary geostatistics with special focus on the external drift method. Applications from diverse areas of science, as well as exercises with solutions, are provided to help convey the concepts and techniques.
