Abstract (EN): The new distinctive problems of geostatistics, as an art of making statistical inference upon a single sample is, the need for sound, effective and theoretically supported i) homogeneity tests, a problem into which we feel and have already made promising advances, although further research is needed into the probability function of the tests variants; ii) multivariate statistical distribution laws applicable to processes in the real world, mainly in the field of generalization of the limit theorems; iii) heteroscedasticity reducing techniques, a field where statistical research has been scarce, where results are generally empirical and where strenuous labour is anticipated.
