Abstract
In this introductory chapter we review a few basic concepts of statistics such as mean, variance, covariance, variance-covariance matrix, as well as the methods of linear regression and multiple linear regression. Then we make a first step into geostatistics by presenting the method of simple kriging, a transposition of multiple regression into a spatial context.
