[R-sig-Geo] Indicator kriging map creation

[Matevž Pavlič]

Hi Edzer, 

sorry for the long time to  reply.

What do you think would be the best thing to do about that? Predict the classes on 3D grid? I mean, i would like to create a code that would generate maps of several classes (variing numbers of them) each depth interval. I think that prediction on 3D grid would be the right thing?

Attached are the co-variograms of ten classes. As i can see there are few classes (devet=level 10 , osem=level 9...) that have nugget (pure nugget effect). This is probably because there are only a few point with that class in the area :

devet   dva   ena   nic  osem   pet sedem   set stiri   tri 
    5    50    85   209     3     7    83    71    49    89

Is there a way to fix this without discarding this classes?

Regards,
