ABSTRACT
The aim of semivariogram modeling is to infer the structure of spatial continuity of the measurements. Practical experiences show that semivariogram modeling is an important step in spatial interpolation. The usual empirical semivariogram is sensitive to extreme data and shows a noised pattern. Some robust empirical semivariogram was proposed. This paper reports the application of pairwise relative empirical semivariogram to Kamojang geothermal decline rate. Using the same data, the usual empirical semivariogram and pairwise semivariogram are compared. Comparative study shows that the empirical pairwise relative semivariogram is able to infer the structure of spatial continuity of the process.
Keywords: Semivariogram; pairwise semivariogram; decline rate
ABSTRAK
Pemodelan semivariogram bertujuan meneliti kontinuitas spatial dari pengukuran. Pemodelan semivariogram merupakan langkah penting dalam interpolasi spatial. Semivariogram peka terhadap data ekstrim dan memperlihatkan pola tidak teratur (noised). Beberapa semivariogram kekar (robust) telah diusulkan. Makalah ini melaporkan aplikasi semivariogram pairwise relatif emperikal pada kadar penurunan geotermal Kamajong. Dengan menggunakan data yang sama, semivariogram biasa dengan semivariogram pairwise dibandingkan. Perbandingan menunjukan bahawa semivariogram pairwise relatif emperik mampu memperlihatkan kontinuitas struktur proses tersebut.
Kata kunci: Semivariogram; pairwise semivariogram; kadar penurunan
