Stochastic Modeling and Geostatistics

This publication is dedicated in part to understanding qualitative and deterministic geologic models in terms of statistics. The book is precisely concerned with the fact that given the same set of data, different geologists will generate different results, all of which may be valid interpretations. Consisting of 25 individually authored chapters, it is the premise of all authors that understanding the interpretive variations is far more important than identifying any one particular model as truth. This publication contains sections on getting started, principles, methods and case studies, and public domain software for stochastic modeling.
