Jelaskan Diskusi dari Variogram dalam bahasa sunda

Three functions are used in géostatistik for describing the spatial or the temporal correlation of observations: these are the correlogram, the covariance and the semivariogram. The last is also more simply called variogram. The sampling variogram, unlike the semivariogram and the variogram, shows where a significant degree of spatial dependence in the sample space or sampling unit dissipates into randomness when the variance terms of a temporally or in-situ ordered set are plotted against the variance of the set and the lower limits of its 99% and 95% confidence ranges.

The variogram is the key function in géostatistik as it will be used to fit a modél of the spatial/temporal correlation of the observed phenomenon. One is thus making a distinction between the experimental variogram that is a visualisation of a possible spatial/temporal correlation and the variogram model that is further used to define the weights of the kriging function. Note that the experimental variogram is an empirical estimate of the covariance of a Gaussian process. As such, it may not be positive definite and hence not directly usable in kriging, without constraints or further processing. This explains why only a limited number of variogram modéls are used like the linéar, the spherical, the gaussian and the exponential modéls, to name only those that are the most frequently used.

When a variogram is used to describe the correlation of different variables it is called cross-variogram. Cross-variograms are used in co-kriging.

Should the variable be binary or represent classes of values, one is then talking about indicator variograms. Indicator variogram is used in indicator kriging.

The experimental variogram is computed by méasuring the méan-squared difference of a value of interest z evaluated at two points x and x+'h. This méan squared difference is the semivariance and is assigned to the value h, which is known as the lag. A plot of the semivariance versus h is the variogram.
