Variograms

Commonly, natural phenomena such as grade mineralization show spatial interdependence. In this sense, the so-called variograms can be used in order to identify the mathematical law that describes the spatial structure of a regionalized variable. This notebook aims to present an intuitive and interactive introduction to a key tool in geostatistics: the Variogram.

Instructions

1. Download and install Julia ≥ v1.6.1.

2. Open Julia REPL and install Pluto:

julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.add("Pluto")

NOTE: Pluto must be ≥ to v0.15

3. Download and extract the repository folder:

4. In Julia REPL, instantiate environment:

julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.activate("C:/downloaded/folder/local/path/.../Variograms-main")
julia> Pkg.instantiate()

NOTE: Replace all \ with / (for Windows users)

5. Launch Pluto:

julia> using Pluto
julia> Pluto.run()

6. Copy Variograms-main local path, paste it on "Open from file" field and, finally, add \variograms.jl to path, so you can open variograms.jl notebook:

7. Wait a while for all the resources in the notebook to load. It may take a while.
