Figure 34. Diagnostic <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> envelope <strong>model</strong> (eq. 35) fitted in Fig. 33. A. Contour plot <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

residuals as [observed D' - predicted D'] (shades according to <strong>the</strong> scale at right, in mm).<br />

Quantiles 0.025, 0.5 and 0.975, obtained from <strong>the</strong> initial dataset (points) and corresponding<br />

curves extracted from <strong>the</strong> envelope <strong>model</strong> by fixing τ (lines) are superimposed. Three "slices"<br />

are cut in <strong>the</strong> 3D-surfaces <strong>of</strong> Fig. 33 at t' = 300 (1), 600 (2) and 1800 (3) days (vertical dotted<br />

lines in Fig. 34A) and represented as size distributions in B. For each pair <strong>of</strong> distributions,<br />

<strong>the</strong> smoo<strong>the</strong>st one is <strong>the</strong> <strong>model</strong>. Differences are clearly visible and correspond to positive or<br />

negatives patches in <strong>the</strong> residuals in A.<br />
