Abstract

A robust estimator for interpolating spatially distributed regionalized variables is introduced. It reduces outlier effects on ob-taining correlation between spatial lags and the correlation between spatial lags and the corresponding semi-variances and produces a significaantly improved semivariogram com-pared with those of conventional estimators. This estimator is applied to a field experimental data set.
