Popis: A nonparametric procedure to estimate the conditional probability that a geostatistical process exceeds a certain threshold value is proposed. The method consists of a bootstrap algorithm that combines conditional simulation techniques with nonparametric estimations of the trend and the variogram. The nonparametric local linear estimator, considering a bandwidth matrix selected by a method that takes the spatial dependence into account, is used to estimate the trend. The variogram is approximated by a flexible bias-corrected estimator based on the residuals. The proposed method allows to obtain estimates of the conditional exceedance risk in non-observed spatial locations. The performance of the approach is analyzed by simulation and illustrated with the application to a real data set.
