Talk: Geostatistics

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Geostatistics is a fundamentally flawed variant of classical statistics because it violates the requirement of functional independence and ignores the concept of degrees of freedom. It is a scientific fact that each distance-weighted average has its own variance. Changing its name to "kriged estimate" does not alter the fact each kriged estimate, too, has its own variance. In addition, Fisher's F-test for spatial dependence cannot be applied because kriging variances and covariances of sets of kriged estimates are simply voodoo variances.
