PLATFORM | Windows & UNIX |
PURPOSE | Geostatistics in 2 and 3D |
FUNCTIONS | + general statistics (histograms, probability plots) + declustering function + variogram and cross variogram calculations (2-D and 3-D) + Simple and ordinary kriging + kriging with a trend model + kriging with an external drift + cokriging + Non linear kriging + indicator kriging and cokriging + indicator principal + component kriging (IPCK) + Soft kriging all these can be point or block kriging + LU simulation + simulated annealing + sequential gaussian simulation + sequential indicator simulation (categorical or continuous variable) + turning bands simulation + cross validation, jackknifing |
CODES | Fortran 77 codes availabe |
TIP | There are 3 versions of GSLIB: The first version GSLIB 2.0 is free and codes (fortran 77) can be downloaded. The last versions, GSLIB 2.90 is free, written in fortran 90 and executables only can be downloaded. Note that you will also need the Xgam program to process *.var files from GSLIB and visualize variograms: have a look at www.engin.umich.edu/class/cee682/src/xgam/ - link is broken, will be checked soon Other people have written some software to make the use of GSLIB 2.0 more user friendly: + UPFILE is a computer program running under windows to display in a raster format the output of data generated with GSLIB. See www.ibrae.ac.ru/~mkanev/eng/Upfile.html - link is broken, will be checked soon + 3Plot also adds x,y co-ordinates to outputs from GSLIB. See www.ibrae.ac.ru/~mkanev/eng/3plot.html - link is broken, will be checked soon + The Geostats package from Cyze & Associates is a free utility which provides the user with a simple but useful windows interface to the codes. See www.cyze.com/product/geostats/ + Check also WinVAM for the automatic modelling of the variogram output of GSLIB. + Check also VISIM (codes section of AI-GEOSTATS) |
