What back-transform would you use for (1)? I use Sichel's theory, which produces prediction intervals for the lognormal back transform. Download any one of my lognormal kriging papers from http://uk.geocities.com/drisobelclark/resume (late 1990s, various audiences).

Dear list members
 
When studied on a log-transformed variable and intended to construct prediction intervals, which option should be followed? Why?
 
1) construct prediction interval first, back-transform later.
 
OR
 
2) back-transform first, construct prediction interval later.
 
Thanks in advance
