Synopsis

In "Applied Geostatistics", the authors demonstrate how simple statistical methods can be used to analyze earth science data. They explain how various forms of the estimation method called "kriging" can be employed for specific problems. A case study of a simulated deposit is the focus of the book. This model helps the student develop an understanding of how statistical tools work, serving as a tutorial to guide the reader through his or her first independent geostatistical study. The text is aimed primarily at students of mining geology and engineering.

About this title

Review

'This book should be on every statistician's bookshelf, because sooner or later most statisticians will be confronted with spatially distributed data.' Technometrics, November 1991

'This is a very useful book for those wishing to learn geostatistics. The book is well written ... How does this book compare with other geostatistical textbooks? I would say that it is easier to read and relatively close to the thinking of mathematical geologists on one side and mathematical statisticians on the other ... the book is highly recommended to readers who want to become familiar with geostatistical concepts and those wishing to review the state of the art in practical applications.'Frederik P. Agterberg, Ottawa, Earth-Science Reviews, 32 (1992)

From the Back Cover

This book describes applied geostatistical methods at an introductory level. It is an easy-to-read book, aimed at undergraduates and 'practitioners' with some knowledge of calculus and elementary statistics. This book could be useful to non statisticians who are taking a first look at geostatistics.
