Run Advanced Estimation

Run estimations and review results

Advanced Estimation - Run Estimations

To access this dialog:

The panel gives a summary of all the inputs to the estimation process.  If any of the inputs are incorrect you must return to the appropriate panel to change them.

The process validates the input before running the estimation.  If any problems are identified they will be reported in the box in the bottom left corner of the panel.

Note: Advanced Estimation is part of the Studio RM toolset. Additional licensing modules aren't required.

 

The panel is split into the following general areas:

  • The Sample/Model Summary section contains read-only information indicating the input samples driving the process, the input model  and whether you are using zonal control to focus the estimation.

    The output model name has been chosen in a previous step and appears here, along with the key field.
  • The Estimation summary lists all estimations that are ready to be run. The table items can be selected, which will automatically update the panel to show the details for that run. Each estimation is described by its Type (Ordinary Kriging, Simple Kriging, Nearest neighbour etc.), the variable (univariate) or variables (multivariate) to be used, the Zones that are considered, the type of output and discretization scope (Disc.)
  • The Parameter Files area is used to set up what the estimation run is going to produce for you.

    The following files will be generated:

    - An Estimation parameter file
    - A Search Parameter file
    - A Field names file
    - A Variogram file
    - A Custom zone parameter file (if custom zones have been defined for soft boundary analysis..

    Optionally, you can generate a SAMPOUT file. This output sample file contains details of weights for each sample for each cell estimated. It can also be useful in determining the number of samples contributing to the estimation of a cell or sub-cell, and the location of those samples. This is used in both the show-samples and show-samples-subcells commands to display 3D window information about selected model cells.


    Example of Show Samples command running with selected cell and contributing sample points in red
  • The Display Results area at the bottom of the panel allows you to select a subset of the results and generate a set of statistics. 
    • The Display button will load the output model and display it in the 3D Window, using a default legend for the selected Variable. If zonal control is used, you can optionally filter the view to display a particular zone.
