Using Geostatistics to Estimate the Variability of Autocorrelated Processes

Statistical quality control is used to detect changes in the parameters values of the process which usually are estimated under the assumption of independence of the sampling units with respect to the quality characteristic. However, this is questionable for many processes. The main objective of thi...
