Defining Structural Parameters

This window allows the definition of structural parameters that ar part of the adjustment model.


Defining the parameters:

  • define the Number of Structures (1, 2 or 3). Observe that the fields corresponding to the number of structures are enabled accordingly;
  • copy from the "Data Report" screen the value for Nugget Effect;
  • for each structure, define the Type of model: Spherical, Exponential, Gaussian or Power.
    • for the types Spherical, Exponential and Gaussian, define the values for Contribution, Anisotropy Angle, Maximum Range and Minimum Range. If the model is isotropic, the Minimum and Maximum Range values are equal (check the Data Report screen) and the Anisotropy Angle assumes any value, for instance zero.
    • if you choose Power, define values for Slope Coefficient, Anisotropy Angle, Exponent and Minimum Range;
  • click on Apply. The semivariogram model will be recorded to be used on the next steps: Model Validation and Kriging.
