Hello R list, I need to compute empirical variograms using data from a large geographic area (~10^6 km2). Although I could not find a specific reference, I assume that both geoR and gstat calculate distances among data points assuming points are on a flat surface (using the Pythagorean Theorem). Because the location of my data is large and located near the pole, assuming that latitude and

Hi, I read somewhere that when carrying out geostatistical analysis in R you should not use latitude and longitude...can anyone expand on this a little for me, and what would be the best coordinate system to use? I have my data in a geographic coordinate system, WGS84, decimal degrees....is this the wrong format for such analyses? I have also converted my data in the UTM projection and so have
