Applying estimators to probabilities of occurrence (obtained using sequential indicatorsimulation) for created maps of clay (topsoil). Map A shows the mean value and was generatedusing the e-type estimator. Quantile estimators were applied to produce maps B, C, and D thatshow the values at the 0.5-, 0.2-, and 0.8-quantile of the conditional cumulative distributionfunction (ccdf), respectively. Estimates can be interpreted as the value that has 50% (B), 80%(C), or 20% (D) probability of being exceeded by the true value in the field. Maps E and F depictthe spread about the mean at each location as the conditional variance (map E; Con. Var.) andin relative terms as the conditional coefficient of variation (map F; Con.
