Optimise Kriging Neighbourhood Analysis Samples

Optimising the sample count is the second step in Refining a Kriging Neighbourhood Analysis. The Samples tab provides options for configuring the KNA Samples component.

Activity Steps

1. Select the KNA Samples component from the Project Tree.
2. Select the Samples tab from the Property Panel.
3. Configure the following options as required.
   • Update – Update the KNA plot, if updating is required.
   • Samples field group:
     • Min – Smallest number of samples to be evaluated.
     • Max – Largest number of the samples to evaluate.
     • Step – Increment between each successive KNA scenario.
   • Sort By – Order the scenarios are displayed on the KNA plot. Select from:
     • Scenario
     • Kriging Efficiency
     • Slope
     • Negative Weights Sum
     • Negative Weights Count
   • Refine Search – Refine samples to those selected on the KNA plot
   • Show Summary – Whether to add a summary overlay to the graph, displaying the KNA parameters used to evaluate the given discretisation values.
