Varying measurement error in Kriging predictions
Please read p 74, "Kriging data with known measurement errors", of http://gstat.org/gstat.pdf . It refers to a method published by Delhomme (1978). The software was written long before the Christensen paper you mention, to which I don't have access.

Hello, my question is how can I implement known varying measurement error in my Kriging predictions? I have two separate datasets: the first one is a 2-D dataset that includes the observations and the second is the a 2-D dataset that includes the measurement error in each specific location. The measurement error dataset follows a structure, it's not random (which can be characterized via the use of the experimental variogram). I have searched a lot online on how to incorporate the measurement uncertainty in Kriging predictions but it seems to still be an open question in the forums (a paper solving this issue has been developed by William F. Christensen titled as: Filtered Kriging for Spatial Data with Heterogeneous Measurement Error Variances). I have tried to use gstat and incorporate the variances using the weights functionality but after I do the kriging and visualize the predicted variance field, even though it qualitatively resembles the defined one, the values of the variances are magnitudes lower than the ones proposed. Does anyone have an idea on how to solve it, or aware of some software-package that has already implemented this functionality? (It's quite tough to understand the stated paper already, rather having to program its contents) . Thank you. Regards, Antonios. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
