Stanford University is Professor Dr Andre G Journel`s world. He has put down deep roots at Stanford since 1978. Journel teaches the same flaky stats that Professor Dr Georges Matheron taught him between 1969 and 1978. Journel was Matheron`s most gifted student. Matheron taught him all of the ins and outs of his novel science of geostatistics. Matheron may not have told Journel that he thoughtin 1954 he was a statistician. It took some ten years to teach Journel how to assume, krige, and smooth with confidence and pride. Journel was Mining Project Engineer at the Centre de Morphology Mathematique from 1969 to 1973, and Maitre de Recherches at the Centre de Geostatistique from 1973 to 1978. Not surprisingly, he worked as much with symbols as Matheron did in his magnum opus. What Matheron failed to show his star disciple is how to test for spatial dependence between ordered sets of measured values in sample spaces and sampling units. Matheron and Journel never found the variance of Agterberg’s distance-weighted average point grade.
