Frage 1

Frage
Which of the following are valid guidelines, or rules of thumb, for constructing variograms?
Antworten
  • a. it is best to start with isotropic variograms before proceeding to investigation of anisotropic variograms
  • b. estimation of variograms should begin with large tolerances, and should be decreased as needed to achieve a clearly defined structure
  • c. use half the maximum possible distance within a region of interest as the maximum lag distance at the which the variogram is calculated
  • d. at least 15 to 20 data pairs are needed for a reliable estimate of the variogram for a given lag distance

Frage 2

Frage
Which of the following are true statements about variogram models?
Antworten
  • a. the spherical model is probably the most commonly used model
  • b. any linear combination of nugget, exponential, spherical and Gaussian models is a valid variogram model

Frage 4

Frage
Which of the following are reasons why we restrict the number of samples to a smaller neighborhood for estimation using kriging?
Antworten

  • b. If too many sample points are used, there is a possibility the matrix will become close to singular
  • c. If we use data points at large distances, we may have to extrapolate beyond the available data in the variogram model
