Query: Interval-Valued Kriging Models for Geostatistical Mapping with Imprecise
  Inputs   Many geosciences data are imprecise due to various limitations and
uncertainties in the measuring process. One way to preserve this imprecision in
a geostatistical mapping framework is to characterize the measurements as
intervals rather than single values. To effectively analyze the interval-valued
data, this paper proposes and develops interval-valued kriging models based on
the theory of random sets and a generalized L2 metric. These models overcome
the mathematical difficulties of a previous development and are computationally
more feasible. Numerical implementation of our interval-valued kriging is
provided using a penalty-based constrained optimization algorithm. An
application to the prediction of design ground snow loads in Utah, USA, is
presented that demonstrates the advantages of the proposed models in preserving
crucial sources of uncertainty towards a more efficient risk-based designing
scheme.
