Methods of applied (spatial) statistics enable the analysis of measurement data. This paper presents research methods aimed at applying geostatistics, i.e., anisotropic (directional) variogram, ordinary (block) kriging and point ordinary (point) kriging to the spatial analysis of geodetic data. An investigative approach, which can be used for the space-time analysis of the displacements (and even deformations) of any small-and large-area facility being under geodetic monitoring, is proposed. Changes in the displacements of check points on a hydrotechnical facility are analysed in both the area and time domain in order to assess the structure's behaviour and safety condition throughout its entire service life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
