Résumé
It is widely recognized that the techniques of classical
geostatistics, which have been used for several decades,
have reached their limit, and the time has come for some
alternative approaches to be given a chance. This book is
an introduction to the fundamentals of modern
geostatistics. The main focus of the book is the Bayesian
Maximum Entropy (BME) approach for studying spatiotemporal
distributions of natural variables. The thread running
throughout the book is that the modern geostatistical
approach to environmental problems is that of natural
scientists who are more interested in a stochastic analysis
concerned with both the ontological level(building models
for physical systems) and the epistemic level, rather than
in the pure naive inductive account of science based merely
on a linear relationship between data and hypotheses and
theory-free techniques that may be useful in other areas.
