Hello, 

 

I am a beginner with R, and have 2 questions concerning
spatial/geostatistics. 

 

I have an artificial landscape composed of a binary grid of patches
(patch=1) or gaps (patch=0), which leads to very periodic empirical
semivariograms. 

 

1)Is there an already-existing model semivariogram that contains a "hole
effect", i.e., includes some periodicity in the model semivariogram fit
to the empirical data? 

 

 

2) Is there a way I can smooth this periodicity using a local/moving
average of values in a local neighborhood around each point in the grid?

 

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

Cheers!

 

Sincerely,
