This fully revised third edition introduces geostatistics by emphasising the multivariate
aspects for scientists, engineers and statisticians. Geostatistics offers a variety of models …

Many geostatistical variables have sample distributions that are highly positively skewed.
Because of this, significant deskewing of the histogram and reduction of variance occurs …

Abstract Evaluation of the stability and determination of the Critical Slip Surface (CSS) of soil
slopes are salient topics in geotechnical engineering. On the other hand, the stability and …

In a competitive environment, where hotel demand is lower than market supply, it is of
interest to determine what factors explain how excellence differentiates certain hotels from …

We used geo-spatial statistical techniques to examine the spatial variation and relationship
of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil moisture (SM) in the Luquillo Experimental Forest …

The stability of the retaining system under seismic conditions is an important aspect of safe
design in earthquake-prone areas. In addition, this stability is highly dependent on soil …

Active commuting to school (ie, walking and cycling) has health implications for young
people. Therefore, it of interest to determine how the distance students walk to school varies …

A solid introduction and overview of water quality sampling and analysis, this book covers
water quality issues, water quality regulatory development, monitoring and sampling …

Characterization of the earth's subsurface involves the construction of 3D models from
sparse data and so leads to simulation results that involve some degree of uncertainty. This …

One of the most significant sources of soil contamination is the industries involved in the
discovery, extraction, and use of petroleum and gas resources. One of the largest oil fields in …
