Abstract
The patterns encountered in studies of the spatial variation often resemble realizations of real-valued stationary stochastic processes. However, this is usually true only as regards local (short-distance) variation. In dealing with variations over long distances we must often introduce an evolutive element in the probabilistic model or add a deterministic smooth trend, as mentioned in § 1.1.
