Dear List, In a block modeling audit exercise, I find the block model statistics (min, max, Mean, variance, std. dev) are different. But the 95% C.I. intervals of the block model are well within that of the samples.
Here is an example: Sample Stats: Minimum 0.00295 Maximum 8.50005 Total Number of Samples 13328 95% C.I : .26040016 -0.90821816 Mean 0.676091 Standard Deviation 0.808321 Variance 0.653383 Block model statistics: Minimum 0.000545 Maximum 6.96922 Number of Samples <=0 0 Total Number of Samples 462813 95% C.I 1.408029 -0.160755 Mean 0.623637 Standard Deviation 0.4002 Variance 0.16016 I'd like to know, 1) should I do any sort of transformation of the block estimation to bring the data to match the sample statistics? 2) If so, what transformations should I do and HOW? Any reference will be appreciated.
