| PLATFORM |
Windows & UNIX. Platforms running R |
| PURPOSE |
Program for uni- or multivariable geostatistical modelling, prediction and simulation. |
| FUNCTIONS |
+ variogram, cross variogram, covariogram or cross covariogram calculation; + modeling of nested models, interactively or non-interactively + pooled (within-class) variogram estimation + variogram maps
+ ordinary kriging, simple kriging, multivariable universal kriging with arbitrary base functions + kriging with external drift + reading observations, prediction locations, and base function values for universal kriging or category numbers for stratified kriging + stratified universal kriging + conditional and unconditional Gaussian simulation + Indicator simulation for simple, categorical or cumulative indicators + block predictions for rectangular blocks or arbitrarily shaped blocks + Gaussian simulation of block averages conditioned on point observations
+ concise, intuitive command language that allows batch processing and eases documentation + Map formats supported are PCRaster, Idrisi, Arc-Info/ArcView+SpatialAnalyst (gridascii and gridfloat), Grass, ER-Mapper, GMT, and SURFER . + writing maps with predictions, simulated values, error variances and error covariances + optionally ascii input and output (independence from GIS formats) |
| CODES |
C codes are available, R version available |
| TIP |
Graphical user interface for Gstat have been developed: one within the PCRaster project, the other one for IDRISI. The authors of GRASS also adopted Gstat as their geostatistical add-on module.
Gstat has two mailing lists: one for announcements, and one for questions and discussions. |
