This course is designed to provide a solid theoretical foundation for all aspects of statistics applied to mineral exploration and mining. It will also give clear pointers of the practical significance of all factors and concepts discussed, with the help of real-world geological examples.<\/p>\n
Particular attention will be given to the extrapolation of available sample data to the whole population, with specific emphasis on single variable inference, correlation inference, and point and block estimation. Important concepts and techniques, such as weighted mean, multivariable analyses, and Kriging, will be presented and discussed. Special emphasis will be placed on the spatial data description, visualization, and estimation. Significant space will be devoted to effective data presentation and visualization methods, in particular spatially-defined data, but also of single variable.<\/p>\n
All the necessary mathematical concepts will be presented and discussed at appropriate detail, rooting this course in statistics theory and providing the essential background that will help students apply this knowledge in the real world of exploration and mining.<\/p>\n
The main objective of this course is to introduce the fundamental geostatistical concepts and applications, together with their mathematical formulations. The students will gain a solid grounding in the essential ideas, principles, and concepts of applied geostatistics, including single variable, two variables, multivariable analysis, spatial statistics, and point and block estimation. The students will be able to select the most appropriate methods for their own applications and make the best possible inferences for their exploration or mining purposes.<\/p>\n
There will be two live meetings per week (via BlueJeans), on Monday and on Friday at 10 to 10:40 am CST.<\/em><\/p>\n Limited places.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction This course is designed to provide a solid theoretical foundation for all aspects of statistics applied to mineral exploration and mining.
