Hodgeman County Study, part 10 of 12


Mapping of group membership probabilities.

Figure 7 shows the continuous variation for all membership probabilities across the study area. Table 5 contains the semivariogram models and Figure 8 displays both the models and the experimental semivariograms. To minimize extrapolation outside the convex hull of the sampling, estimates exceeding certain kriging variance threshold were ignored. From top to bottom and from left to right such maximum variance values for the maps in Figure 7 are 0.13, 0.055, 0.16, 0.235, 0.235.
