Hi all, from what I could devine (with the help of collegues) out of the gstat documentation (should have looked at www.gstat.org earlier...) the kriging variance (var1.var) is the kriging standard error ^2. I am still trying to get Chiles (1999) as it will be able to enlighten me on other things. Thanks Paul.

For example the following book: (Chiles1999) Chiles, J. & Delfiner, P. Geostatistics: Modeling Spatial Uncertainty John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1999 A paragraph on the kriging variance is on page 176-177. How it is calculated is explained in the parts that describe kriging. (e.g. p. 156). hth, Paul Alexander.Herr at csiro.au schreef:
Hi list/Edzer, I am trying to determine errors in the krige output and can't find any
documentation on the details of the variance output of krige {gstats}
(variable var1.var of krige output).
How is this variance defined? Basically I am after a way to calculate
other statistics like N, standard error, CV or a probability to
describe the uncertainty of the krige output.
All help appreciated
Thanks
Herry
