Adaptive ensemble spatial analysis by Alvaro F. Egaña, María Jesús Valenzuela, Mohammad Maleki, Juan F. Sánchez-Pérez, Gonzalo Díaz

“…The results obtained verify a good performance in the ability to capture the relevant spatial aspects, even in challenging conditions such as non-stationary cases or when there are few samples to perform the inference. In turn, the level of errors in validation contexts is similar to those obtained with traditional geostatistics (Ordinary Kriging method), in synthetic contexts that are suitable for the use of geostatistical techniques. …”
