A tilt may also be incorporated to rotate the tolerance parameters about the calculation direction axis. A direction is defined by azimuth and dip angles considering the area geology (A).
Parameter SelectionĪfter any required coordinate and data transformation steps, the variogram is calculated in each principal direction. The composited values may be transformed using a normal score transform (probit) or additional transform to manage extreme values. Compositing to a larger scale substantially increases the stability of the calculated experimental variograms. Data are typically composited to the largest reasonable length before any modeling operations (Rossi & Deutsch, 2013). Deutsch, 2015).ĭata compositing and extreme value management is required prior to variogram calculation. A review of coordinate transforms and considerations specific to tabular deposits are discussed in a separate lesson (J. Tabular deposits are almost always flattened or unfolded. The coordinates of the domain may be transformed to conform to the directions of continuity. Prior to experimental variogram calculation, a number of prerequisites must be satisfied. Three experimental variograms calculated on the same data set with different lag separation distances and lag tolerances.
This lesson provides a starting point for experimental variogram tolerance parameter selection with the goal of inferring a precise, stable variogram, such as variogram B. We consider variogram A to be overly precise and highly unstable with few pairs informing each point, and variogram C to be too imprecise for accurate modeling. The trade-off between stability and precision is illustrated in the experimental variograms shown below. In these cases, tolerance parameters are required to infer an experimental variogram that is both precise and stable for subsequent modeling. This lesson focuses on variogram calculation in practical cases where the variogram must be inferred from limited, irregularly spaced measurements. The definition and calculation of the variogram is covered in any standard geostatistical text (Chilès & Delfiner, 2009 Pyrcz & Deutsch, 2014). Kriging, Gaussian simulation, and indicator methods all require a variogram model for each variable in each domain. The variogram is a central parameter for many geostatistical techniques.
