STK: a Small Toolbox for Kriging

One toolbox, two flavours

The latest release of STK is 2.8.1 and it comes in two flavours:

• an "all purpose" release, which is suitable for use both with GNU Octave and with Matlab.
• an Octave package, for people who want to install and use STK as a regular Octave package.

Quick start with the "all purpose" release

Download and unpack stk-2.8.1-allpurpose.tar.gz from this page, and then run stk_init.m in Octave or Matlab.

After that, you should be able to run the examples located in the 'examples' directory.

For instance, type stk_example_kb03 to run the third example in the "Kriging basics" series.

Using STK as an Octave package

Assuming that you have a working Internet connection, typing pkg install -forge stk (from within Octave) will automatically download the latest STK package tarball from the Octave Forgefile release system and install it for you.

Alternatively, if stk-2.8.1-octpkg.tar.gz (obtained from this page) is in the current directory, you can simply type: pkg install stk-2.8.1-octpkg.tar.gz.

After that, you can load STK using pkg load stk.

To check that STK is properly loaded, try for instance stk_example_kb03 to run the third example in the "Kriging basics" series.
