Product Description
Linear Geostatistics covers basic geostatistics from the underlying statistical assumptions, the variogram calculation and modelling through to kriging. The underlying philosophy is to give the students an indepth understanding of the relevant theory and how to put it into practice. This means going into the theory in more detail than most books do, and also linking it with applications. It is assumed that readers, students and professionals alike, are familiar with basic probability and statistics, and matrix algebra needed for solving linear systems. Some reminders on these are given in an appendix at the end of the book. A set of exercises is integrated into the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Introductory but excellent lecture of geostatistics, January 30, 2001

By	Heewon Park (Seoul, S.Korea) - See all my reviews

This book treats some stuffs in geostatistics including basic stochastic theory, variogram, and various kriging techniques. Though this is an introductory textbook of geostatistics, it's theoretical approach and explanation are clear, creative, and easy to understanding for students who are new to this area. I would like to recommend this book for all of students who have an interest in geostatistics and for experts too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good text but there is not pictures enough, January 28, 2008

By	TONATIUH SUAREZ "Tonatiuh Meaney" (Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is a very good text book for bachelor degree level, but, the book could be better if the pictures were designed again with powered tools. There is very good examples, but a primitive picture make it look not so good.
