Advanced Estimation - Case Study

The Advanced Estimation module provides co-Kriging, enhanced variography and Kriging Neighbourhood Analysis (KNA). Estimation is faster than ESTIMA and makes use of multiple cores when they are available.

The attached document explains the key differences between Advanced Estimation (leveraging COKRIG and other supporting processes) and the ESTIMA/ESTIMATE partner processes. In many ways, it offers a justification for moving to the faster and more capable functions available in the Advanced Estimation console.

The attached document describes examples of the similarities and important differences between the inputs and outputs of estimation functions in Studio RM. It is based on a hypothetical project, the data of which can be downloaded below, should you need to perform your own review or just to become more familiar with the tools on offer.

A study of the differences and similarities between Advanced Estimation and the legacy ESTIMA-ESTIMATE process pair can be found on the Datamine Support Website (login required):

Note: You can use output parameter files from Datamine Supervisor instead of generating them in Studio. See Advanced Estimation & Variography.
