okanogen VerminEnemyFromWithin<p>Back to topic.<br>Modelling has changed and improved a lot. Mostly due to more powerful computers allowing more brute force analysis. The math tools really haven't changed that much. Early commercial modelling included programs like <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Surfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Surfer</span></a> decades ago and used <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Kriging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kriging</span></a>, (<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Gaussian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaussian</span></a> peocess regression) of geostatistical data. Most current geospatial modelling uses this technique, often enhanced with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BayesianDataAnalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BayesianDataAnalysis</span></a> (read the book by that name). So now the table is mostly set. 5/</p>
