On Asymptotic Property of Matheron′s Spatial Variogram Estimators

  • Published : 2001.12.01

Abstract

A condition in which the covariances of Matheron's variogram estimators are expressed in a simple form is reviewed. An asymptotic property of the covariances of the variogram estimators is examined, and a sufficient condition that guaranties the finiteness of the asymptotic variance of the normalized variogram estimators is provided.
