Probabilistic Model (Weights of Evidence):

- used in the areas where there are already some known deposits

- spatial associations of known deposits/oil well with the geological features are used to determine the probability of occurrence of a mineral deposit (or well) in each unit cell of the study area.

Fuzzy Model:

- used in the areas where there are no known mineral deposits

- each geological feature is assigned a weight based on the expert knowledge, these weights are subsequently combined to determine the probability of occurrence of mineral deposit in each unit cell of the study area.

Probabilistic model (Weights of Evidence)

• What is needed for the WofE calculations?– A training point layer –

i.e. known mineral deposits;

– One or more predictor maps in raster format.

PROBABILISTIC MODELS (Weights of Evidence or WofE)

Four steps:1. Convert multiclass maps to binary maps2. Calculation of prior probability3. Calculate weights of evidence (conditional probability) for

each predictor map4. Combine weights

• The probability of the occurrence of the targeted mineral deposit type when no other geological information about the area is available or considered.

Study area (S)

Target deposits D

Assuming- 1. Unit cell size = 1 sq km2. Each deposit occupies 1 unit cell

Total study area = Area (S) = 10 km x 10 km = 100 sq km = 100 unit cells

Area where deposits are present = Area (D) = 10 unit cells

Prior Probability of occurrence of deposits = P {D} = Area(D)/Area(S)= 10/100 = 0.1

Prior odds of occurrence of deposits = P{D}/(1-P{D}) = 0.1/0.9 = 0.1110k

• Define a threshold value, use the threshold for reclassification

• How do we define the threshold?

Use the distance at which there is maximum spatial association as the threshold !

D

Which polygon has the highest spatial association with D?More importantly, does any polygon has a positive spatial association with D ???

What is the expected distribution of deposits in each polygon, assuming that they were randomly distributed? What is the observed distribution of deposits in each polygon?

Positive spatial association – more deposits in a polygon than you would expect if the deposits were randomly distributed.

If observed >> expected; positive associationIf observed = expected; no association If observed << expected; negative association

Area(D) = n(D) = 47; n(D|D) = 4

Area (S) = n(S) = 100; n(D) = 10

OBSERVED DISTRIBUTION

Only C has positive association!So, A, B and D are classified as 0; C is classified as 1.

Another way of calculating the spatial association : = Observed proportion of deposits/ Expected proportion of deposits= Proportion of deposits in the polygon/Proportion of the area of the polygon= [n(D|A)/n(D)]/[n(A)/n(S)] • Positive if this ratio >1• Nil if this ratio = 1 • Negative if this ratio is < 1

Exercise-2Layer – B1 (Fold Axes buffers

1.25k)

There are 54 base-metal deposits in the study area. Out of these, 35 deposits occur

within 1.25 km buffers of fold axes (B1), and 42 deposits are associated with mafic

volcanic rocks (B2). The total area in the fold axes buffers is 7132 sq km, while the

mafic volcanic rocks occupy 4374 sq km area. If the total study area is 55987 sq km,

calculate the following (assuming 1 sq km unit area size):

1. Prior probability and odds of base-metal deposits in the study area;

2. W+B1, W-B1, W+B2, W-B2;

3. Contrast values for B1 and B2; and

4. Posterior Log(odds) and probability of base-metal deposits in the study area, where

i. Both B1 and B2 are present; ii. B1 present but B2 absent; iii. B2 present but B1 absent; and iv. Both B1 and B2 are absent

Assuming- 1. Unit cell size = 1 sq km2. Each deposit occupies 1 unit cell

Total study area = Area (S) = 10 km x 10 km = 100 sq km = 100 unit cells

Area where wells are present = Area (D) = 10 unit cells

Prior Probability of occurrence of wells = P {D} = Area(D)/Area(S)= 10/100 = 0.1

Prior odds of occurrence of wells = P{D}/(1-P{D}) = 0.1/0.9 = 0.11

Basic quantities for estimating weights of evidenceTotal number of cells in study area: n(S)

Total number of cells occupied by wells (D): n(D)

Total number of cells occupied by the feature (B): n(B)

Total number of cells occupied by both feature and wells : n(B&D)

Derivative quantities for estimating weights of evidence

Total number of cells not occupied by D: n( ) = n(S) – n(D)

Total number of cells not occupied by B: n( ) = n(S) – n(B)

Total number of cells occupied by B but not D: n( B & D) = n(B) – n( B & D)

Total number of cells occupied by D but not B: n(B & D) = n(D) – n(B & D)

Total number of cells occupied by neither D but nor B: n( B & D) = n(S) – n(B) – n(D) + n( B & D)
