variogram parameters

Well,

all are very important for a good fit to your empirical semivariogram. Screw up 
one, and the curve won't be very close.

Maybe what you are looking for is, how to start developing a good model.

If so, I would say (based largely on experience teaching this):

1. anisotropy first. No point developing a crummy omnidirectional model
2. model form is next (spherical, exponential, etc)
3. nugget
4. sill and range

And iterate 2-4 until it seems ok. 

Others surely have their own preferences....

Yours,

Ashton

Dear list,

I have a trivial but not easy quiestion for me. In a semivariogram you use
 this parameters:

a) partial sill
b) nugget
c) range
d) anisotropy parameters

Please, could you ranking them beeing 1 the most important parameter?

Thank you very much,
Gema
