摘要
This study proposes a new method to evaluate the effectiveness of orebody grade estimations, drawing upon the analysis of existing evaluation methods for grade estimation. This new approach addresses factors such as uneven sampling and asymmetric estimation range, which are challenging to overcome with existing evaluation techniques. The core principle of this method involves documenting how frequently individual samples are used during grade estimation and calculating the total distance weights for each sample. Subsequently, the usage frequency and total weight of the samples are standardized, and these standardized values are weighted based on the sample grades. A comparison is made between the weighted sample grades and the estimated grades, with the closeness between the two serving as a metric for assessing the effectiveness of the estimation. This study compares the new evaluation method to the direct comparison and cross-validation methods, examining the effectiveness of grade estimation using the inverse distance weighting (IDW) method. The findings revealed that: (1) The new evaluation method theoretically accounts for the systematic deviation between the statistical measures of estimated and sample grades resulting from uneven sample distribution, offering a fresh approach for enhancing the effectiveness of orebody grade estimation. (2) In the grade estimation of experimental Fe samples, the frequency of usage and the sum of distance weights were unequal. This inequality significantly contributes to the systematic deviation between the estimated and sample grades. (3) Comparing the new evaluation method to others confirms the stability and reliability of the new approach for evaluating the effectiveness of orebody grade estimation. This novel method demonstrates theoretical advantages and practical utility. (4) The deviation between the estimated grades and the statistical results of sample grades is influenced by the distribution pattern of sample grades, the spatial relationship between samples and estimation blocks, and the inherent systematic error associated with the IDW method. This systematic error cannot be overlooked.
