Pierre, Thank you very much for your response. I actually had not attempted transforming the data yet — this was one of the questions I had in my mind, namely, whether or not the transformation would do this. Regarding the transformation, would a z-score or, perhaps, a Box-Cox, or some other

Hi Thomas, I am assuming that you transform your data before conducting your (sequential?) Gaussian simulation. In this case, the backtransform would yield only positive values, assuming of course that like S-GeMS Gstat asks the user to specify the minimum and maximum of the target histogram. R

AI-GEOSTATS: geostatistical simulation questions

2006-07-25 Thread Thomas Adams
List: I am interested in doing some geostatistical simulations using GSTAT and have some theoretical questions. I am attempting to model hourly rainfall accumulations over a large region, so there will almost always be zero rainfall somewhere. I can generate random fields of precipitation, u

Hi Stefano, First, I am not sure that stochastic simulation is necessary in your case since you seem to be only interested in what I would call a measure of local (or location-specific) uncertainty. MultiGaussian kriging would in theory give you exactly the same results at less computational cos

Hallo! I'm a Ph.D. students who works with Indoor Radon Data, and it's the first time I join this list. I've a question for you: after post-processing several Sequential Gaussian Simulation to obtain a probability map of exceeding a given threshold, can someone suggests me a "clever" way to "vali
