This category can be reduced to one of the former two.
In the two-dimensional case, the first step will be: Compute the variogram in 4
directions, namely
units <1.0cm,1.0cm>
x from -1.0 to 1.0, y from 0.0 to 1.0
<0.15cm> [0.35,0.7] from 0.0 0.0 to 1.0 0.0 <0.15cm> [0.35,0.7] from 0.0 0.0 to 0.75 0.75 <0.15cm> [0.35,0.7] from 0.0 0.0 to 0.0 1.0 <0.15cm> [0.35,0.7] from 0.0 0.0 to -0.75 0.75
In case different variograms in different directions are indicated, one should
decrease the number of classes. (Anisotropy: This can often be solved by some
corresponding transformation.) Alternatively, one could try to obtain better
variograms by grouping: Suppose we have computed
variograms
with corresponding
pairs of data values. Then a mean variogram with all pairs
is simply found by
