Description Standard spatial statistics involves exploratory data analysis (EDA) and the computation of a semi-variogram from spatial data such as the finite strain data from a thrust sheet. However, the uncertainties in the computation of the most of the EDA and the semi-variogram parameters cannot be estimated; standard EDA allows the computation of the uncertainties associated with only the sample mean. Bootstrapped EDA is found to be more robust than the standard EDA because it allows uncertainties to be computed for all EDA parameters. Bootstrapped spatial statistics also allows the computation of a better and a more robust semivariogram than standard spatial statistics as the uncertainties associated with the semivariogram parameters can be ascertained. The range (a)= 750 m and sill (c) = 0.008 values associated with the exponential semi-variogram computed by Mukul (Journal of Structural Geology, 20 (4), 371-384, 1998) for the finite strain data from the Sevier fold-and-thrust belt in western USA, was recomputed using Bootstrapped Spatial Statistics. The range (a) was recomputed as 719.4 ±32.2048 and the sill (c) as 0.0097± 0.0004. Kriging estimates obtained using the Bootstrapped semi-variogram indicate that the results are practically insensitive to the uncertainty associated with the estimation of parameters of the semi-variogram used.
