APLICAÇÃO DE MÉTODOS GEOESTATÍSTICOS PARA IDENTIFICAÇÃO DE DEPENDÊNCIA ESPACIAL NA ANÁLISE DE DADOS DE UM ENSAIO DE ESPAÇAMENTO FLORESTAL EM DELINEAMENTO SISTEMÁTICO

The systematic design stands out for its compactness, broadness and for allowing the testing of a larger number of spacings. However, it is not used due to the systematic arrangement (non-randomized) of the plants and the high sensibility for missing values. The aim of this work was to describe the geostatistic model and associated methods of inference in the analysis context of non-randomized experiment, reporting applied results to identify the spatial dependence in a fan systematic design of Eucalyptus dunnii. Furthermore, different alternatives for treating missing values that can occur from flaws and/or mortality of plants were
