Output

On the Output tab of the Seam Block Model Estimation form, select options to determine what will be written to the Output file. You can also choose to generate a more verbose Report file.

Options

Write number of points

When you select this option, the number of points used to calculate the estimated value for each point, block or polygon is reported. Polygon areas are also reported.

Write kriging variance

When you select this option, kriging variances will be written to the column headed KR_VAR. This option does not appear when you select the Multiple Indicator Kriging option.

Write standard error

When you select this option, standard errors appear in the column headed KR_STDERR. This option does not appear when you select the Multiple Indicator Kriging option.

Write average distance

When you select this option, the average distance used to estimate each block will be written to the report file.

Write closest distance

When you select this option, the closest distance used to estimate each block will be written to the report file.

Write sectors

When you select this option, the number of sectors will be written to the column headed NUMSECT and the number of points that fall within each sector will be written to multiple SECTOR columns.

Write kriging efficiency

When you select this option, Kriging Efficiency values will be written to the column headed KR_EFF.

Write slope of regression

When you select this option, Slope of Regression values will be written to the column headed SLOPE.

Output file

To write the results back to the original Seam Block Model file, select the Modify existing file check box. Otherwise, enter (or double-click to select) the name of an output Seam Block Model file.

You can add up to five new fields to the file. To do this, click the Add Fields button.

Overwrite target field

Select this option to overwrite all entries in the fields that will receive values during the estimation. These are the fields specified in the Attributes data grid on the form.

Clear target field

Select Clear target field to delete all entries in the fields that will receive values during the estimation.

Write verbose weighting report

Select this option to write the grades and weights for all points used in the block calculation to the Report file. The following data is written:

Field	Description
Sector	The sector of the search ellipse that the sample was found in. The sector numbering starts from 1 and increases clockwise from 12 o'clock (in Plan view).
Code	Each unique Code in the Count Reference field is mapped to an ID which is the ID for the current sample.
Actdist	The actual 3D Euclidean distance between the sample and the block centre.
Trandist	The effective distance between the sample and the block centre adjusted for anisotropy.
Weight	The final calculated weight for the sample.
Grade	The grade (value of the analysis field) of the sample.
Av_Vgram	The average calculated variogram value between the sample and each discretised point in the block.

Write Audit

Select this option to write a complete log of each Kriging run to an XML file. Input file details, the model definition, variogram parameters, search and sample parameters, variable ranges, the date and time, etc. will be written to the file.

File

Double-click (or click on the Select icon) to select the name of the Audit file.

Run

Finally, click Run to run the function.
