Geostatystyka dla niematematyków. Przewodnik praktyczny – appendix

Geostatistical tools are useful and even necessary in many fields, not only in geology. The obstacle to their widespread use is the seemingly difficult mathematical foundations with which the teaching of the subject usually begins. Many years of experience and observations allow me to claim that even if geostatistical methods are used, they are often incomplete and imperfect. In a series of three articles, I tried to familiarize potential non-mathematicians with the most important methods and tools from the arsenal of spatial statistics and how to use them properly. I indicated the areas where these methods can be used, explained whether they can always be used, showed what decisions should be made during calculations and how the results obtained should be interpreted. It is not a compendium, but rather a pocket guide facilitating the reader's first contact with geostatistics. After publishing my triptych under the common title "Geostatistics for non-mathematicians", I decided to add a supplement in which I will discuss several important issues. These include the condition of stationarity, the problem of the presence of a trend in the variability of the analysed phenomenon, and the situation where there are observations that differ significantly from the others, called outliers.
