二十年前,南非地质学家克立格(D.G.Krige)根据样品值相关程度随样品空间位置而变化的情况提出了一种计算矿块品位和储量而使其估值误差为最小的方法。后来,法国学者马特龙(G.Matheron)进一步完善和发展了这种方法,并将它命名为“克立格法”。60年代初,马特龙在该法的基础上提出了“区域化变量”(或称有限空间变量)理论,从而逐渐形成了一个较为完整的地质统计方法。该法目前在国外除已较广泛的应用于金属矿外,也应用于油页岩、硫化物矿床、煤矿的储量计算以及地质、物 Twenty years ago, the South African geologist D.G. Krige proposed a method of calculating the grade and reserves of nuggets to minimize their estimation errors based on the variation of the correlation of sample values ​​with the spatial location of the samples. Later, French scholar G.Matheron further refined and developed this method, and named it Kliridge. In the early 1960s, Mattron put forward the theory of “regionalized variables” (or finite space variables) based on this law, thus gradually forming a relatively complete geostatistical method. At present, the law has been widely applied to metal mines in foreign countries and also applied to the calculation of reserves of oil shale and sulphide deposits and coal mines as well as geology and matter
