Directional semivariograms for pancreatic cancer mortality rates (realization #1 in Figure 3) computed using the traditional equally-weighted estimator and the risk estimator (Equation 8) that accounts for population size. Azimuth angles are measured in degrees clockwise from the NS axis. The solid curve denotes the anisotropic (i.e. direction-dependent) model fitted using weighted least-square regression.
