Studies in the history of probability and statistics XLIX On the Matern correlation family

Peter Guttorp and Tilmann Gneiting

Biometrika, 2006, vol. 93, issue 4, 989-995

Abstract: Handcock & Stein (1993) introduced the Matern family of spatial correlations into statistics as a flexible parametric class with one parameter determining the smoothness of the paths of the underlying spatial field. We document the varied history of this family, which includes contributions by eminent physical scientists and statisticians. Copyright 2006, Oxford University Press.
