The ideas in this book have been developed over the past three or
four years while I was working at the Institute of Geological
Sciences and later for Golder Associates. During that time all of
the geological modelling and resource estimation studies I
participated in had data that were non-ideal in one respect or
another (or just plain 'dirty'): the standard ways of handling the
data with kriging or with simpler parametric methods gave reason
able results, but always there were nagging doubts and some lack of
confidence because of the corners that had to be cut in generat ing
a model. The bimodal distribution that was assumed to be 'close
enough' to normal; the pattern of rich and poor zones that was not
quite a trend yet made the data very non-stationary; and the many
plotted variograms that would not fit any standard model variogram:
these all contributed to the feeling that there should be something
that statistics could say about the cases where hardly any
assumptions could be made about the properties ofthe parent
population."
