My First question: I am using a mining software to get a krigged block model. The tool also saves a parameter called "Slope of Regression". The "Slope of Regression" is defined as (Block Variance – Kriging Variance +Lagrange_multiplier)/(Block_variance-KrigingVariance+2*abs(Lagrange_Multiplier)) provided the denominator is not zero.
Unfortunately, there is NO literature available (Including no help file). I have hard time to understand what this "Slope of Regression"means and how this slope is usable. I'll highly appreciate your thought on this. My second question: If s is the sample, v is the block and V is the whole panel of blocks or the whole deposit, the Krige’s additive relation can be written as: σ 2 (s,V) = σ2(s,v) + σ2(v,V) But how is: σ2(s,V) related to σ2ok? (σ2okKriging variance), under what condition? Abani R Samal Lakewood, CO __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
