The Use of Boolean Random Functions in Geostatistics

This paper presents the possible uses of boolean random functions in geostatistics. Their definition and main properties are presented in the first section. Their contribution to the study of the change of support problem encountered when the variable of interest is the maximum value on a block (instead of the average) is considered in detail. In the second section, practical problems encountered when fitting them to data are discussed. Some ways of testing for these functions are outlined.
