Understanding Variogram in Geospatial Analysis
Introduction Geospatial analysis often involves understanding the spatial relationships between data points. One foundational concept in this domain is the variogram. In this article, we will explore what a variogram is, how it is used in Kriging, and how to compute experimental and semi-variograms for hypothetical borehole data. Finally, we will use these concepts to interpolate water levels across all data points using Kriging. A Note on Spatial Relationships The First Law of Geography, proposed by Waldo Tobler, states:...
