Your kriging search ellipse determines which samples influence each block estimate. Too big and you over-smooth. Too small and you're noisy. Here's how to find the right one.
Search ellipse kriging Anda menentukan sample mana yang mempengaruhi estimasi setiap blok. Terlalu besar dan over-smooth. Terlalu kecil dan noisy. Begini cara menemukan yang tepat.
Kurva grade-tonnage terlihat sederhana — grade di satu sumbu, tonase di sumbu lain. Tapi membacanya dengan benar butuh pemahaman apa yang diasumsikan dan apa yang disembunyikan kurva.
Variogram Anda adalah pondasi estimasi kriging. Salah dan setiap blok di model Anda bias. Ini lima kesalahan yang paling sering saya lihat di proyek resource Indonesia.
Your variogram is the foundation of your kriging estimate. Get it wrong and every block in your model is biased. Here are the five mistakes I see most often in Indonesian resource projects.
