Semivariogram Sensitivity (Geostatistical Analyst)

Mit der Geostatistical Analyst-Lizenz verfügbar.

Zusammenfassung

This tool performs a sensitivity analysis on the predicted values and associated standard errors by changing the model's semivariogram parameters (the nugget, partial sill, and major/minor ranges) within a percentage of the original values. The tool takes a geostatistical model source in order to populate these initial values of the nugget, partial sill, and major/minor ranges. The tool's output is a table indicating which parameter values were used and what the resulting predicted and standard error values were. If there are large fluctuations in the output with small changes in the model's parameter values, then you cannot have much confidence in the output. On the other hand, if changes in the output are small, then you can be confident in the model's predictions and make decisions based on its output.

Verwendung

  • The geostatistical model source is either a geostatistical layer or a geostatistical model (XML).

  • In the output table, PtID corresponds to the OID value in the Input point observation locations feature class, and the RndParam field identifies which of the semivariogram parameters were randomly changed.

  • This tool uses a random number generator in its operation. The Seed value used can be controlled in the Random number generator environment.

    • If a seed value of 0 is used (the default value), then each time the tool is run, a different set of random numbers will be used and a different output will be generated.
    • If the random number seed is set to a fixed number greater than 0, then the tool will produce the same output each time it is run, until the seed value is changed.

    Hinweis:

    Only the Mersenne Twister random number generator type is supported; if ACM collected algorithm 599 or Standard C Rand is chosen, Mersenne Twister will be used instead.

  • In Python scripting, the GeostatisticalDatasets ArcPy class will be useful for populating the Input dataset(s) parameter.

  • For data formats that support Null values, such as file geodatabase feature classes, a Null value will be used to indicate that a prediction could not be made for that location or that the value should be ignored when used as input. For data formats that do not support Null values, such as shapefiles, the value of -1.7976931348623158e+308 is used (this is the negative of the C++ defined constant DBL_MAX) to indicate that a prediction could not be made for that location.
