Basic linear geostatistics
This book covers basic geostatistics from the underlying statistical assumptions, the variogram calculation and modelling through to kriging. The aim is to give readers an in-depth understanding of the relevant theory and how to apply it in practice, especially in a mining context. The material is subdivided into 10 chapters. The introductory chapter illustrates two key concepts in geostatistics: the support effect and the information effect. In Chapter 2 the basic definitions in geostatistics including the concepts of random functions and regionalized variables are presented and the underlying stationarity hypotheses are introduced. The next three chapters concentrate on the variogram and its theoretical properties (zone of influence, anisotropies, presence of a drift, etc). The common variogram models are also presented. Chapter 6 takes up the topic of support again, but this time from the point of view of regularization. The following three chapters are devoted to kriging, the name used for the different geostatistical estimation methods. The final chapter treats the topic of estimating the total reserves. Some reminders on basic mathematics and statistics are included in Appendix 1. Appendix 2 contains guidelines on how to carry out case-studies in industry. A set of exercises is integrated into the text. This book contains the right mixture of theory and practice to allow geologists, both students and professionals, to apply geostatistics to their own experimental data.
