SPATIAL REPRESENTATION OF SURFACE WATER MONITORING AND ITS ASSESSMENT USING GEOSTATISTICAL AND NON-GEOSTATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN GIS

patterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment

although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...

Spatial variability of sunn pest Eurygaster integriceps on Astragallus sp. in overwintering sites using GIS and geostatistical methods

       Study of Sunn pest Eurygaster integriceps population changes in overwintering sites on milkvetvh can be important in study of population dynamics and biological control. Many studies have been conducted on Sunn pest population in over wintering sites but data collection hasn't done for spatial analysis. In this study, spatial distribution of sunn pest population in overwintering sites wa...

Forecasting Interest Rates Using Geostatistical Techniques

Geostatistical spatial models are widely used in many applied fields to forecast data observed on continuous three-dimensional surfaces. We propose to extend their use to finance and, in particular, to forecasting yield curves. We present the results of an empirical application where we apply the proposed method to forecast Euro Zero Rates (2003–2014) using the Ordinary Kriging method based on ...

Geostatistical Analysis of Monitoring Data

Geostatistical Analysis of Spatial Data

First, geostatistics provides descriptive tools such as semivariograms to characterize the spatial pattern of continuous and categorical soil attributes. Various interpolation (kriging) techniques capitalize on the spatial correlation between observations to predict attribute values at unsampled locations using information related to one or several attributes. An important contribution of geost...
