Theoretical Semivariogram Models PROC VARIOGRAM computes the sample, or experimental semivariogram. Prediction of the spatial process at unsampled locations by techniques such as ordinary kriging ...

Typically the semivariogram model is not known in advance and must be estimated, either visually or by some estimation method. PROC VARIOGRAM computes the sample semivariogram, from which you can find ...

This paper proposes the use of estimating functions based on composite likelihood for the estimation of semivariogram parameters. These estimating functions eliminate the need for the subjective ...
