[R-sig-Geo] A krige.conv() question :: variance

[Paulo Justiniano Ribeiro Jr]

Dear Olga

Using the notation in Diggle and Ribeiro (2007)
the kriging predictor ($predict)
and the associates variance are summaries of the (estimated) predictive 
distribution, and therefore provide estimates of E[S|Y] and Var[S|Y]
