What?
Course presented by Dr Isobel Clark in conjunction with University of British Columbia and Edumine.
This course takes students from no knowledge of statistics or geostatistics through to the mysteries of ordinary kriging and its variants in 3 days. This is a classroom course and includes manual exercises to reinforce understanding of the techniques.
The course is aimed at professionals dealing with the estimation from or interpolation between samples collected on a spatial basis. This is not a course for specialist geostatisticians but intended rather for those who wish to use geostatistics to enhance their practical applications or research.
No prior knowledge of statistics or geostatistics is assumed. A minimum of mathematics is necessary to explain the techniques - mainly simple algebra, up to the concepts of solving simple sets of simultaneous equations and differentiating x².
Questions and discussions are actively encouraged and, indeed, form the basis of a successful course.
Basic computer skills and a personal notebook computer with Windows are course requirements.
Participants may take away copies of all software and data sets.
