Modiied Median Polish Kriging and Its Application to the Wolfcamp-aquifer Data

چکیده
In geostatistics, spatial data will be analysed that often come from irregularly distributed sampling locations. Interest is in modelling the data, i.e. estimating distributional parameters, and then to predict the phenomenon under study at unobserved sites within the corresponding sampling domain. The method of universal kriging for spatial prediction was introduced to cover the problem of spatial trend eeects. This is done by incorporating linear trend models, e.g. polynomial functions of the spatial coordinates. However, universal kriging is sensitive to additive outliers. An outlier resistant method for spatial prediction is median polish kriging. Both methods have certain advantages but also some drawbacks. Here, universal kriging and median polish kriging will be combined to the robust spatial prediction method called modiied median polish kriging. An example illustrates the method of modi-ed median polish kriging along with piezometric-head data from the Wolfcamp-Aquifer.

متن کاملImproved Median Polish Kriging for Simulation Metamodeling
In simulation, Median Polish Kriging is a technique used to predict unobserved data points in two-dimensional space. The linear behavior of the traditional Median Polish Kriging in the estimation of the mean function in a high grid makes the interpolation of O(1) which has a low order in the prediction and that leads to a high prediction error. Therefore, an improvement in the estimation of the...
متن کاملThe use of a genetic algorithm-based search strategy in geostatistics: application to a set of anisotropic piezometric head data
In any geostatistical study, an important consideration is the choice of an appropriate, repeatable, and objective search strategy that controls the nearby samples to be included in the location-specific estimation procedure. Almost all geostatistical software available in the market puts the onus on the user to supply search strategy parameters in a heuristic manner. These parameters are solel...
متن کاملInvestigation of linear and non-linear estimation methods in highly-skewed gold distribution
The purpose of this work is to compare the linear and non-linear kriging methods in the mineral resource estimation of the Qolqoleh gold deposit in Saqqez, NW Iran. Considering the fact that the gold distribution is positively skewed and has a significant difference with a normal curve, a geostatistical estimation is complicated in these cases. Linear kriging, as a resource estimation method, c...
