摘要

Handcock & Stein (1993) introduced the Matern family of spatial correlations into statistics as a flexible parametric class with one parameter determining the smoothness of the paths of the underlying spatial field. We document the varied history of this family, which includes contributions by eminent physical scientists and statisticians.
