Abstract

The report presents several approaches and models that were used for spatial estimations of radioactively contaminated territories after Chernobyl nuclear accident followed by large scale environmental consequences: well known traditional deterministic models (inverse distance weighted algorithms, multiquadric equations), recently developed geostatistical models (Moving Window Regression Residual Kriging/CoKriging), and artificial neural networks (ANN). The models used differ in amount of preliminary analysis, levels of complexity and assumptions about the data behaviour.
