The Estimate Dialog
Estimate offers all the functionality of ESTIMA and INDEST (excluding unfolding), plus more, through a tailored dialog. It includes the ability to save and restore Unfolding criteria, search volume, estimation type and variogram model information through the use of parameter files.
The Estimate dialog comprises a series of tabs that follow the process of grade estimation from left to right. Each tab may contain controls and fields, or additional sub-tabs. There is a large range of commands and settings available, with a dedicated context-sensitive Help topic provided for each tab (see Related Topics, below).
