Abstract
We include an account about the geometrical meaning of two measures of dispersion: the variance and the selectivity. This is based on Matheron [123] [124] and Lantuéjoul [100] [101]. The context is mining economics, but a parallel to analog concerns in the evaluation of time series from environmental monitoring is drawn at the end of the chapter.
