Nonparametric modeling of the covariance structure of regionalized variables.

In this dissertation, an approach to representing the covariance structure of spatial random variables is presented. A number of methods for fitting polygonal functions to variograms are demonstrated. Techniques for evaluating estimation variance with polygonal variogram functions are developed and...
